Summary
Hounds are useful tools, certainly. Devastating weapons turned against their former comrades. But what happens when, inevitably, even the finest sword breaks?
Abandoned by her Handler and cast to the side by the empire that broke her, rebel hero-turned-Hound-turned-stray Alida Chondax finds herself far away from the war that once ruled her life. In a quiet, rural region of her homeworld, where neither rebel nor Imperial bothers to go, she is taken in by the kindness of strangers, and a once-loyal Hound is left to finally heal. But can a dog of war so broken ever truly recover?
Meanwhile, her old friend, Jaxie Thornth, finds herself in the place Alida once held, the new prize possession of her Handler. But war is a cruel mistress, and Death looms fickly around every corner. Nobody - neither stern veteran nor most ironclad officer - is immune to its vagaries.
What happens to a Hound when its master dies?

Summary
"Precious Horcrux..."
The two possessive, cloying words, hissed low, made Harrie feel nauseous.
"I'm not going to kill you. I'm going to keep you."
