Zen is a misanthropic grad student of physics and religion who wants to kill his Self before it kills him—if he can figure out where he ends and it begins. His friend Ellie wants to save him, but he won’t let her into his life. Her ability to surgically remove a soul’s facade with her penetrating, laser-scalpel eyes terrifies him. She’s every broken piece of him that’s missing, but someone would have to die to get them together.

This is the second book in the Zen series in which Zen, Kelek, George, and the others experience the city of Dongor and Count Stark.

In this book, Zen comes back from being lost and tries to make up her mind as to what to do with all her newfound knowledge, but too many things, internally and externally, prevent her from becoming quiet enough to listen, and the pirates are, of course, no help.
