The Coalition returns six months later to rescue those left behind to find that the planet Desa and its moon orbiting 36 Ophiuchi-A are inside a mysterious under-universe. Magic and technology clash in this realm. The medieval civilization on the planet it is ruled by an evil queen and ex-Coalition officer.
