Jani Kilian was born in Ville Acadie, the largest city on the Commonwealth colony of Acadia. 

Her father Declan, a systems developer, was of Irish descent; her mother Jamira Shah, a shopkeeper, was of South Asian descent. 

Jani grew up speaking a French dialect, learned Commonwealth English in primary school, and decided early on that life on a backwater was not for her. 

She wanted to see other worlds, so like so many other colony kids, she joined the Service.

It seemed a good idea at the time.

It takes a killer to catch a killer.

Jani Kilian finally has her life under some semblance of control. 

Finally Discharged legally from the Service, she’s become an important player in ongoing negotiations with the alien Idomeni and earth.

But when a classified report containing revelations about hers and others past crimes comes to light, Jani realizes that old enemies are still seeking to destroy her. 

One way or the other.

As dangers mount and those closest to her are directly threatened, a hard lesson learned during her years on the run hits home.

Hard. 

Whether in colonial back alleys or the gilded halls of power, the game is always a life and death event, and only the winner can take all and survive.
