After that a grueling journey awaits them, through blasted landscapes inhabited by warring peoples scrabbling for subsistence. Peace-in-the-Sky must use her mysterious power of the pillars-of-flame to clear their path. As her memory reveals the secret of her true nature, her body and mind deteriorate.

Station in the Sky
Donna, once Peace-in-the-Sky, awakens aboard Station-in-the-Sky and rejoins a society that had been her home for thousands of years before knowing Anissa. But she soon discovers her fellow stationers have lost sight of their original mandate to protect Earth. Instead, their new plans will threaten all of Earth’s inhabitants. As her memories return, she becomes suspicious her head injury was actually an attack by another stationer. Framed as being faulty, Donna must navigate the eccentricities of the other stationers without being caught, and covertly assemble proof of their plans before they realize she will do anything to keep Earth safe from their meddling.
