| Condition Notes |
Good used reading copy with visible shelf and handling wear. Front cover has moderate edge rubbing, small corner bends, light surface scuffing, and minor creasing. Spine edges show wear consistent with an older mass-market paperback. Back cover has edge and corner wear, rubbing, scattered surface marks, and a noticeable rubbed/peeled area near the lower right. Bottom page and cover edges show additional wear. Cover remains firmly attached and the book presents well enough for a solid reading or series-building copy. |

The war appears to be over. Galcen has fallen, the Space Force is scattered, and the former Republic’s worlds are preparing to accept peace with the victorious Mages. But for Beka Rosselin-Metadi, the last Domina of Lost Entibor, surrender is not an option.
With enemies closing in and few allies remaining, Beka must rely on her crew, a hidden base, an old oath, and a mysterious legacy. As loyalties become increasingly uncertain, a conflict rooted in five centuries of treachery moves toward its final confrontation—with the fate of the fractured galaxy hanging in the balance.
The third installment in Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald’s Mageworlds series delivers classic space opera filled with galactic warfare, political intrigue, hidden loyalties, family conflict, and adventure. It is especially attractive as a series-building title because it continues directly from The Price of the Stars and Starpilot’s Grave and leads into the later Mageworlds novels.
This is Book 3 of the seven-volume Mageworlds sequence. The series order is The Price of the Stars, Starpilot’s Grave, By Honor Betray’d, The Gathering Flame, The Long Hunt, The Stars Asunder, and A Working of Stars.
The ISBN and cover correspond to the original 1994 Tor mass-market paperback edition. A first-edition paperback example of this edition has also appeared in the secondary market.
