An ancient prophecy, a dying world, a human girl and a masked outlaw; Earth is doomed, but a wild girl can save the greatest space-faring empire from an unknown threat. Hunters from the stars search a dying Earth for a saviour, yet no one will aid the ruined planet. Rayne and her brother fight to survive in a world gone mad, their skills honed by danger and deprivation. A prophecy in an ancient tome predicts a golden child who will save the Atlantean Empire, the greatest power in the galaxy. An ancient black ship is her guide and a reviled slaver lord her guardian. Others will try to slay her to prevent the prophecy from coming true. In the midst of two galactic empires' strife, a mysterious outlaw known as the Shrike holds the power to save or destroy the Golden Child. One thing is certain: Earth will die.
