Publisher's summary

SHATTER! THE CONCLUSION OF THE BATTLE FOR THE SPARK ETERNAL! As DOCTOR APHRA fights for her life, she faces a dire question: Even IF she triumphs over the Spark, will there be enough left of Aphra to piece herself back together?

Opening crawl

SHATTER

Aphra and the Spark's uneasy alliance continued through their journey to the Ascendant's temple on Pyrr IX.

However, after reliving some of Miril's memories, the shared body of the Spark and Aphra discovered another Ascendant
artifact, one that the Spark used to silence Aphra!

Meanwhile, Sana Starros and her crew, along with Kho Phon Farrus, have developed a plan involving the ancient Fermata
Cage to capture the Spark and remove it from Aphra's body.

It all leads to Amaxine Station….
