Gray Paradox - Thousand Eye Universe, #4

In the fourth book of the Thousand Eye Universe series, war has broken out between the Light and the Gray. It is a meaningless war, and it gets worse by the day. Vilstair would like nothing better than to stop the war, but no one will listen to a normal cop. She fears for those she loves. Her lover Ranakur suggests a dangerous mission: to go to the center of galactic power and try and speak with the Light directly.
He believes he can convince the Light to stop the war, if only someone important will listen to him. Vilstair doubts he can succeed, but she will protect him no matter what. Lancis is a lieutenant on a Gray warship. Her ship is attacked by the Light and the captain is murdered. Lancis is summoned to the galactic center to report on the incident. Once there, she also gets caught up into Ranakur's scheme.
And she wanders to a deserted part of the capital, where she will find someone that should not be there. Someone unseen has watched for a long time - someone who will not remain hidden for much longer.
