Synopsis:
Daye Azur-Jamin leads a Rebel
group trying to run weapons to natives on Monor II.
However, his group is picked up by the Imperials, who
plan to wipe out the native Sunesis. They are brought
before Administrator Brago, who strips the replacement
droid parts off the cyborged Daye and throws him in the
brig. Nearby on Monor II, Tinian I’att and Chenlambec
captures a Sunesis priest-prince named Agapos IX, who
heals the wound he inflicted on the Wookiee, then
insists he be killed. The now half-crazed Tinian stuns
him, then leaves evidence indicating he was killed. Daye
is broken out by Sunesis Rebels, who he discovers have a
healing power that is related to the Force. They seem to
worship the pseudo-deity the droids invoke – “The
Maker.” He tries the Force on himself, and finds his
one blinded eye suddenly able to see again! He is
looking forward to meeting the Sunesis’s spiritual
leader – Agapos. He soon learns of the native leader’s
death, however. The natives find the bounty hunter ship
and attacks it. Daye figures out the deception – that
Tinian’s with the Rebels – and tells the natives.
They let the ship go, then they follow them. Tinian’s
ship was damaged in the fight, and they are forced to
come out of hyperspace early to repair the life-support
systems. They continue on to Tekra Point, with Daye and
the Sunesis (who they think are Imperials) chasing them
every step of the way.
Daye meets with Agapos at last, clearing up the
misunderstanding. The native, who has learned of Tinian’s
history, asks Daye why he continues to deceive her into
thinking he is dead. Daye is astonished to learn how
unstable Tinian has become since he last saw her. Agapos
gives Daye some pointers in Force healing, and asks him
to join the Sunesis way to heal his spirit as well as
his body. Daye begs Agapos to stay in hiding and to take
him as a disciple. And the Sunesis priest-prince finally
agrees, on one condition – sooner or later, Daye must
confront Tinian...
