Summary
Psychotherapist interrogator Dr Black Swan signed her soul away when she joined the Garden, a top secret intergalactic agency dealing entirely in secrets but she swears its for the good of the world. With her expertise in mental torture and interrogation, Swan is a legend in the Garden's deepspace ships--there is none she can't break or won't break as long as it serves the interests of the Garden. The Garden needs to persevere, its vast archives holding histories unimaginable and Black Swan would do anything to make sure it does.
That is until a wounded Ranger slams into the ship. Though armed with the grace of something destructive, Archeron, as she calls herself, is gentle and the Garden's most infuriating puzzle. The Gardeners are sure that Archeron holds the key to winning the grand war--but she can't remember none of it right now. At the behest of the top brass, Black Swan takes on the challenge of unravelling the mystery of her elusive subject's mind.
Through games and tricks, the two learn each other's contours but when Black Swan realises the extent of what lies beneath Archeron's pretty face, she must decide whether to turn the ranger in--or orchestrate the most daring escape of both body and mind.
