Publisher's Synopsis
Back from my thirty-day penalty on Planet Pilar, I recalled my time there when reconnecting with my teenage crush, Parmalee Rhin, who is still the ravishing beauty I remembered in secondary school. Though Parmalee is gorgeous on the outside, she is as black as night on the inside. When Cally and I return to Pilar to work on our relationship skills, Parmalee is lying in wait to destroy what she didn't have time to achieve before. With the help of my nemesis, she co-develops a plan for me I know nothing about -- a deadly plan that involves people I love. I have no idea the treachery she will go to for revenge, but in time, she makes it perfectly clear. Dray, on the other hand, is experiencing his own dilemma. After remaining on Zarcon instead of following Avria to Colossus, he receives clarity on how he wants his life to look, and it includes her. Avria, however, is of a different mind. In Dray's absence, she finds solace in the arms of someone else who sweeps her off her feet and inevitably off Colossus. Dray becomes a different person when he finds out, and because of that, he develops a new way of thinking about women and his friends. Life for me, Lander Kahn, was complicated before, but now it is filled with an inconceivable heartache that brings me to my knees. Could everything the four of us go through be a part of Miurtiese's plan? If it is, she is one hell of a Life Guide to be able to keep it all straight and ensure we remain on our predetermined path.
