Three years have passed since the wreckage of the Morning Star crashed onto Earth. Lizaveta has made peace with her fate as a dutiful, obedient wife, finding comfort in visits to virtual cafés where she can indulge in any fantasies. But now her husband invites Lizzi to join the Far Reconnaissance expedition—away from Earth’s cloud storage, where the consciousness of his former rival has taken refuge. Only he didn’t expect that the rival would find a way to follow his beloved into space, even from virtual reality. And now Lizaveta will have to make the final choice between her loving husband and her daughter’s father—and her only love.
