Publisher's Summary
A brand-new space fantasy novel from master world-builder Valerie Valdes! A refugee with a secret, a dangerous foe, and a road trip that could either save a planet or start a war.
Where peace is lost, may we find it.
Five years ago, Kelana Gardavros lost everything in the war against the Pale empire. Now Kel Garda is just another refugee living on the edge of an isolated star system. No one knows she was once a member of an Order whose military arm was disbanded and scattered across the galaxy. And no one knows that if her enemies found her, they might destroy the entire world to get rid of her.
Where peace is broken, may we mend it.
Kel’s past intrudes in the form of a long-dormant Pale war machine, suddenly reactivated. If the massive automaton isn’t stopped, at best it will carve a swath of devastation that displaces thousands of people. At worst, it will kill every sentient creature on the planet.
Where we go, may peace follow.
When two strangers offer to deactivate the machine for a price, Kel and a young friend agree to serve as their guides. The journey through swamps infested with predators and bandits is bad enough, but can they survive more nefarious dangers along the way? And will Kel’s fear of revealing her secrets doom the very people she’s trying to protect?
Where we fall, may peace rise.

Fantastic!
This book is so different in tone and world from Valdes' other trilogy, and I loved it just as much! It's refreshing to find a book involving so much violence that, at its core, has a message of pacifism. The unfolding world was rich with history and depth. I especially loved the eco-conscious, socialist world explored in this book. Between the world itself, and the openness with which it treated its residents and visitors alike, and the message of finding peace in yourself and forging peace in the world around you, this book left me with a really good feeling. Whatever Valdes happens to write next, I know I'll be in line to read it!

Lemworthy
I should have lemmed this before I got to the end. The reviewer did a decent job of a story that was barely average until the epilogue. The last section of the book was filled to overflowing with trite, trope laden plotting that was not worth the time it took to get through.
