It can be read as a standalone book, but will benefit from knowledge of what has occurred in the main story.For the first time in the Armadaverse we follow a lone female protagonist as she strives to overcome adversity both within and without. Those readers who are survivors of narcissistic abuse are advised that there may be triggers in the text, however Marlay's journey to overcome them will possibly provide some cathartic relief.
