The Scattered Pearls Belt is a string of habitats on the edge of a huge galactic empire-a glittering, decadent society rife with corruption. Now, one of its victims-Quynh, a scholar betrayed and left for dead-has come back for her revenge, under the guise of the glamorous and enigmatic Alchemist of Streams and Hills. Quynh's path intersects that of Minh, the daughter of one of her oldest enemies, who chafes at her own lack of freedom; and of Hoa, a near-destitute engineer who poses a threat to all Quynh's careful plans. Quynh finds herself inexorably attracted to Hoa, even as her plans upend the fragile political equilibrium of the Belt. Falling in love wasn't part of Quynh's plans; but will she be able to grasp this second chance at happiness, or will she cling on to a revenge that may well consume her whole?
