The powerful follow-up to the Star Trek: Destiny explores the consequences of the shattering events that have reshaped the universe.

In the uneasy weeks after the events of Star Trek: Destiny #3: Lost Souls, the survivors of the holocaust continue to be tested to the limits of their endurance. But strange and mysterious occurrences are destabilizing the galaxy’s battle-weary Allies even further.

In the Federation, efforts to replenish diminished resources and give succor to millions of evacuees are thwarted at every turn. On the borders of the battered Klingon Empire, the devious Kinshaya sense weakness and opportunity. In Romulan space, the already-fractured empire is dangerously close to civil war.

Sonek Pran—teacher, diplomat, and sometime adviser to the Federation president—perceives a pattern in the seeming randomness. And as each new piece of evidence falls into place, a disturbing picture encompassing half the galaxy begins to take shape...revealing a challenge to the Federation and its allies utterly unlike anything they have faced before.
