Summary
Neera isn’t done. She stares directly at Una.“Or to put it more poetically: the lost daughter, raised in shadows, who now shrouds herself in gold.”
Hundreds of years ago a divide formed within Illyrian society between those who continued to follow their tradition of worshipping the Ilya, and those who rejected it. Like her parents and grandparents before her, Una doesn’t believe the Ilya is a god or anything more than a tyrannical parasite, but when the Ilya splits from its most recent host and the search begins for a new one, she discovers it doesn’t matter what she believes.

Summary
“Illyrians are incapable of casual sexual relationships – at least not enjoyable casual sexual relationships. It’s the way we’re wired. If we achieve a certain level of pleasure with a partner, then our brains and our endocrine system latch on to that person, regardless of our actual feelings and desires. We become infatuated with them and it’s…intense.”
Una has a Doug problem, which is really an Illyrian problem. Joseph lends a sympathetic ear.

Summary
Two years after being presumed dead, Una returns to Starfleet but finds picking up where she left off is impossible – Chris is gone, the Enterprise is away on a five year mission under a new captain, and Starfleet doesn’t have empty ships and available crews just lying about.
After a confession from an old friend sets her, La’an, Erica and Pelia off on a mission to Talos IV in the only ship she can find, larger problems begin to emerge. Illyrians are being overcome by their own immune systems – an occurrence that seems to be linked to Una making a form of contact with a species wiped out hundreds of years ago. Meanwhile, the species responsible for that historical atrocity and Una’s two-year captivity seem to be determined to make trouble for both the Federation and Illyria.
As the only person connected to all events, Una finds herself and her crew struggling to investigate what’s happening, right wrongs and prevent catastrophe. All while she, Chris and others try to heal from the past and figure out their futures.
