With the Reapers closing in, Miranda Lawson understands well the magnitude of the threat. But as she breaks free from Cerberus and navigates the perils of a fracturing Systems Alliance, can she reconcile the operative she once was with the woman who's fallen for Commander Shepard? Rated M for graphic violence, language, and strong sexual situations.

Six years after the war with the Reapers the galaxy is in a period of peace and growth. But it is far from saved. Matriarch Aquilla, the oldest, most powerful and respected asari in the galaxy has set in motion a plan that threatens to destroy all that Shepard saved. Old friends and allies will have to reunite to take on the most dangerous asari the galaxy has ever seen.

Victory over the Reapers was achieved only at a steep galactic and personal cost – billions are dead and the galaxy hovers on the verge of anarchy. Scarred and changed by her actions, Evan Shepard risks losing everything she loves in the brutal struggle for peace. The continuation of the ME universe created in Catalyst of Fate. FemShep/Liara; Ashley/Miranda.

Finally the Shadow Broker and the galaxy's champion have found their way back together. Now they face the greatest challenge in history: the return of the Reapers. To defeat this foe, Liara and Shepard will have to work miracles . . . but in the end, they may find the cost too great to bear.

Neither Miranda nor Liara know exactly where this whole thing is going. There is something between them, something more than sex. But neither of them is willing to think it, let alone say it out loud. ******* cover courtesy of XRAN on DeviantartDOTcom
