   Summary

   Ten years ago, Dedra Meero and Syril Karn returned from Ghorman as heroes of the Empire with secrets carefully tucked away like souvenirs made out of glass inside their luggage. When the fallout of their respective choices during the Ghorman Massacre finally catches up with them and their prestigious ISB careers crumble at their feet, where will they go? Can something new and lasting be constructed from the scattered pieces of their past or is their relationship beyond repair?
