It has been ten years since the events of Tigra. After a sleep of five thousand years, the ancient race has awakened, at the very dawn of a new age. Having barely taken the first steps toward rediscovering their culture, they are suddenly thrust into a galactic war, forced to fight in order to keep their new found freedom. Yet how can the tiny desert planet of Ararat, on the farthest edge of known space, hope to win against the awesome power of the Coalition. With no other choice, Jeena and Samson are forced to take the fight to their enemies, with Jeena unaware of the terrible secret she caries within. Will the combined strength of the two species be enough? And what of Samson, the tigra who led his people out of the darkness? Is he what his people proclaim? Is he truly the Messiah?
