Synopsis: It's been two years since the Centauri Princess was plagued by a series of attacks from mysterious, winged wolf-like creatures arriving from the interstellar night. Having eliminated the threat, the lonely ark is again cruising on her silent voyage towards a near-infinitely far destination. In the midst of this sereneness, what could possibly go wrong? In the immense ocean of darkness beyond our solar system, a mining expedition is dispatched to an ice world found drifting in the Oort cloud to replenish the ark ship's uranium reserves. There, the expedition encounters mysterious revelations inside a "city of lights." They discover something seductively beautiful yet viciously deadly. At the same time, the secret offers a solution that proves priceless to the multi-generational colony crew, eager to reach their unreachable destination in a single generation. In the end, a deadly struggle ensues amongst the ark's own crew in their quest for immortality…
