Cassilde is also steadily fading under the onslaught of Lightman's, an incurable, inevitably fatal disease. She needs one last find big enough to leave a legacy for her partner and fellow salvor Dai Winter. When their lover and former colleague Summerlad Ashe reappears, offering them a chance to salvage part of an orbiting palace that he claims contains potentially immense riches, Cassilde is desperate enough to take the gamble, even though Ashe had left them both to fight on the opposite side of the interplanetary war that only ended seven years ago. The find is everything Ashe promised. But when pirates attack the claim, Cassilde receives the rarest of the Ancestors' Gifts: a change to her biochemistry that confers near-instant healing and seems to promise immortality. But the change also drags her into an underworld where Gifts are traded in blood, and powerful Gifts bring equally powerful enemies. Hunted for her Gift and determined to find Gifts for her lovers, Cassilde discovers that an old enemy is searching for the greatest of the Ancestral artifacts: the power that the Ancestors created and were able to barely contain after it almost destroyed them, plunging humanity into the first Long Dark. Haunted by dream-visions of this power whispering its own version of what happened, Cassilde must find it first, before her enemy frees it to destroy her own civilization"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Interplanetary voyages $v Fiction. $9 213476 650 0 $a Salvage vessels $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Antiquities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. $9 199162 650 0 $a Titans (Mythology) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802198 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909052622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63F84400261B11EAB196236797128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
