"A series for adults that acts as a companion series to Dragons of Starlight, a series for young adult ..."--Author's note.

"Adrian and Marcelle continue their quest to free the human slaves on the dragon planet of Starlight. Sword maiden Marcelle returns in spirit form to their home planet in search of military aid and runs into deadly obstacles because of her strange appearance. For her, death by burning is on the horizon. Adrian stays on Starlight to search for his brother Frederick, hoping to join forces and liberate the slaves. Adrian is carrying the nearly lifeless body of Marcelle, not knowing that her ghostly self is in desperate trouble back at home."--P. [4] of cover.
