Soaring means leaving the nest. Q of Cygnus is tired of running. She's safe with her found family, healing and learning to control her talents. But her enemies are getting stronger, too. She must take the fight to them and eliminate the threat, once and for all. Before she can go on the offensive, former allies destroy her plans. Trapped with a possible traitor, Q must outsmart artificial intelligences, Familia operatives and her own self-doubt. While battles may be won and lost, Q will do whatever it takes to win the war.
