A science fiction tale of global warfare and the people who profit from it. The world has been divided by the Barrier. For 115 years this extraterrestrial, epidimensional entity has divided the Earth into warring zones.

When the treaty's architect is assassinated, her protegee, Elleni, a talented renegade and one of the few able to negotiate the Barrier, is forced to take up her mantle. Now Elleni and a motley crew of allies risk their lives to make the treaty work. Can they repair their fractured world before the Barrier devours them completely?
