Seven hundred thousand years ago, the Asterions fled persecution for their pro-synthetic beliefs. In the safe harbor of a distant galaxy, they have evolved into a true biosynthetic race and built a thriving society upon the pillars of personal autonomy, mutual respect, and boundless innovation.

Story
The Asterion Dominion is at peace with its neighbors and itself. Its citizens enjoy great freedoms and all the luxuries their biosynthetic minds can imagine, design, and create. But beneath the idyllic veneer, something is going wrong. People are going wrong, driven to commit inexplicable crimes without motive or purpose. And once imprisoned for those crimes, they simply vanish. Psyche-wiped and dumped in an alley five years ago, awakened into a culture where ancestral memories stretch back for millennia, Nika Tescarav's past is a blank canvas. But if whoever erased her did so in the hope of silencing her, they should have tried harder.

Publisher's Summary
When man and machine are one and the same, time moves differently. But it runs out all the same.
The Asterion Dominion government has fallen, its rulers slain - but in the Dominion, the dead rarely stay that way. A doomsday clock rushes headlong toward the day the monstrous alien shape-shifters known as the Rasu will demand their next tribute of lives. When denied it, the Rasu will burn every Dominion world to the ground.
Unless they can be stopped.
Nika, Dashiel, and their allies fight to hold onto the reigns of power even as they search for a way to defeat the enemy. Their quest will take them from barren deserts to a remote wilderness to the hidden home-world of an ancient, mysterious species, all to uncover a secret 700,000 years in the keeping.
With everything they thought they knew now called into question and the reckoning at hand, the Asterions’ past, present, and future will collide in a last daring gambit to save all three.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
If you enjoyed the works of G.S. Jennsen and Pyper Down in the Aurora Rhapsody series, then this is right up your alley. Well worth the price (or monthly credit!). Once or twice I got some characters confused between the two series, but it was my own fault for having a year gap between book 2 and 3. Keep up the great work!
