Honor Harrington arrives at Basilisk Station in disgrace. A superior officer who despises her has orchestrated this exile to an isolated picket duty where careers go to die. Her crew resents her for their humiliating assignment to police a backwater system. The single habitable planet harbors natives who consume drugs that drive them to murder. Parliament debates whether to abandon the territory entirely. Smugglers run rampant through the system while merchant cartels plot against her. The Republic of Haven schemes in the shadows. Honor faces these mounting threats with only an aging light cruiser whose weapons systems fail to function properly. Her enemies believe they have cornered her in an impossible situation. They have miscalculated. Their persecution has ignited her fury, and an angry Honor Harrington becomes a force they never anticipated.
