Liaison Yelena returns to Ixia on a routine, official visit. But something seems very off about her. It also doesn't help that increasingly serious attempts have been made on the Commander's life, that even those closest to him are beginning to show questionable loyalty, and that uniforms continue to make it all too easy to sneak in and out of the castle. I own nothing.

Being liaison is a difficult enough job. Between being nearly killed -accidental death by missing documentation-attending peace talks and reducing espionage by a certain assassin, there are stubborn souls to guide. And on top of it all new dangers will arise where she will be forced to confront old demons that may take all that she has and leave nothing left. I own nothing.

Yelena and Valek graciously fold napkins late into the night for Leif and Mara's wedding and catch up on "talk." I own nothing.
