Three very different survivors—a young astrogator, a technician poet, and a beautiful passenger—must face a hostile medieval world, full of surprising species and customs, while being pursued by ruthless mercenaries. But their accident is no coincidence: beneath the gold and purple of Ythaq's palaces lies a secret that will change their destiny.
