It is the dawn of the fourth millennium, and for trader Nathanael Freer it is business as usual.
"Tile Dance", his ship, is in the safe hands of an AI with two minds and a krewe of helpers. And his latest commission - to deliver a shipment of nanoforges to Eolhxir - seems normal enough.
But it is not. A galaxy-wide data plague is infecting the spiral arm of local stars all the way from Old Earth. Universal darkness threatens the vast concord of living civilisations. And a trap has been laid which will draw Freer into an eons-old conflict. His contract, it seems, is far from routine - and Eolhxir holds the key to everything.
