On the run after stabbing a patrolman, Jenna of Christos became a pirate and fled to a far of galaxy. A brilliant pilot of space craft, she eventually joined the ship of Thurgod Drista, one of the pirates’ most successful leaders. But things changed and they barely survived a trap set by the Empire.
Stunned by the rash of attacks by the Imperial Legion that wiped out many other pirate ships, Jenna and her crew are on the run again, this time taking a dangerous risk; they are going to Trilla, the demon planet to steal a hidden treasure known as The Dark Lords Hoard. But no one who has ventured into the tunnels leading to the hoard has ever returned and Captain Traska, who commands a strong legion task force, is determined to capture or kill the last remaining pirates and is hot on their trail.
Can they survive the terrors the tunnels hold and escape the Imperial Legion who are bent on their destruction? And what about the terrifying and powerful, immortal Dark Lord who ruled the empire for many thousands of years and vanished almost a thousand years ago; is he truly gone or will he return and seek vengeance against anyone who dares to plunder his hoard?
