After a centuries-long voyage, humanity's first interstellar colony ship reaches its destination, Tarazed-B... only to find a planet with a poisonous and unterraformable atmosphere. Unable to return home and running short on supplies, the crew of the starship Eagle must use the last of their engine reserves on a desperate course correction to Tarazed-A, a red giant with little chance of having habitable planets but still a better option than dying helplessly in interstellar space. Impossibly, the Tarazed-A system has life-bearing planets. As Chief Medical Officer Maria Perez explores the paradisaical world at the heart of the system, she starts to learn strange secrets that may lead the colony to its doom... or its salvation.
