Publisher's summary

Plot summary

FORTUNE AND FATE part 4 THE DEAL
Doctor Aphra and her team were hired by Detta Yao to find the Rings of Vaale, mysterious ancient artifacts of untold power. There's just one tiny but extremely dangerous detail—Ronen Tagge, scion of the infamous and insanely powerful Tagge family, has his eyes on the prize. Aphra's team tracked the rings to an ancient city made of living bone on Dianth. But they were separated right before Tagge's mercenaries arrived. Fortunately, Aphra activated the city's booby traps and escaped capture while Eustacia found one of the rings! Unfortunately, Detta's double-crossed Aphra. Oh, and so has Just Lucky! It's a bit of a mess…
