Genetically engineered soldier M. Jela Granthor's Guard finds the last living fragment of a sentient tree on an abandoned world and vows to protect it, just as the Sheriekas, an enemy bent on annihilating all life in the galaxy, close in. Fleeing with sharp-tongued pilot Cantra yos'Phelium and an escaped clone named Dulsey, Jela is drawn into a desperate plan to save what's left of a dying civilization by any means necessary.
