In this installment of the award-winning Vorkosigan science fiction adventure series, Captain Ivan Vorpatril finds himself in a compromised situation when Byerly Vorrutyer, an undercover agent for Imperial Security, asks him to meet a young woman who appears to be in danger. Ivan, unable to refuse helping a damsel in distress, becomes embroiled in a plot that pits him against the Komarran authorities, his superiors, and lethal figures pursuing the mysterious Tej and her exotic companion Rish. How far will Ivan go as an inspired protector? Fortunately, he won't have to worry about his family... or so he thinks.
