Cassandra Davenport is a prisoner in her own body. An alien entity from a race known as the Archons lives behind her brain, controlling her body as though it was its home. She had a promising career and an entire lifetime in front of her. She attempted repeatedly to reestablish control over her physical form, even if for a brief interval, to notify others of her alien subjugation. Thus far, her attempts have been unsuccessful, notwithstanding that she was able to move her arm once. Now she has a new goal: to regain control of her body.

The longing to return home weighs heavily on Lieutenant Deanne Polski, though the location eludes everyone. She firmly believes that the secrets lie within the Tome of Revelations. The ancients discovered the new colonies over 3,000 years ago and documented their journey. She has vowed to spend every waking moment trying to wring out any scrap of information from the stories in the Tome to get the fleet home.

Captain Gavin Alastor has led the fleet away from the ancient world Banchin after a clash with the Archons. He wants to chart a course for the colonies, but he must first defend the fleet of unarmed civilian ships from constant attack. To make matters worse, there are Archons spreading and taking over people on his ship as well as other civilian ships. The purpose of their mission remains obscure, but he suspects at some point they will sabotage his fleet, steal critical information, and report back to allow their race to arrive at the colonies before they do. He must stop the Archons or arrive at the colonies early enough to rally forces to defend against them.
