The first installment of the Honor Among Thieves series, set in the Romulan Star Empire during the Dominion War.

Commander Aeryrn t'Laris, a seasoned soldier of the Romulan Star Navy, returns home for a brief reprieve after escaping from a Dominion prison. Instead of coming home to a peaceful shore leave with her family, she finds that she has no family to come home to...she receives word that the Tal'Shiar has arrested and executed her parents and younger brother for treason. As Aeryrn searches for the truth behind these accusations, she swears vengeance against the Tal'Shiar.

A mysterious vigilante offers to aid Aeryrn in her mission, but in return, she must return the favor...at the cost of her mnei'sahe, her honor.
