About This Book

Dirk t'Larien travels to the rogue planet Worlorn to reunite with a former lover, only to find her bound by the rigid and violent social codes of a crumbling culture. As the world drifts away from its stars into eternal darkness, Dirk becomes entangled in a struggle between honor, tradition, and doomed romance. The novel serves as a melancholic exploration of cultural decay on a grand interstellar scale.
