Dozens of worlds have been liberated from the oppression of the Censorate. The only thing they agree on is hating the Censor. Newly appointed ambassador Wynny Landry must convince her neighbors to cooperate—and prevent them from being taken over by a new oppressive regime. It's not going to be easy. The Mulians hate the Falxians. The Lompocans can't get along with each other. The Fierans want some payback for the effort they put into liberating other worlds. And the ex-Censorate governor who brought his whole province into the rebellion keeps showing up when not expected—or wanted. She'd lean on her husband, if he wasn't missing in action at the front. Wynny needs to talk the rebels into keeping their guns aimed at the Censor, while hopefully smoothing over the worst of the conflicts. All she has to work with is her parent-in-laws' ship, her adopted clanfolk, and trade deals for excess missiles. If it's not enough, the rebellion will fall apart—and the Censor will return, out for blood.
