The Matriarch Reunited — J.y. Olmos

Evonne believes that her daughter is still alive and held captive by the Hive somewhere at the fringes of the galaxy. Now all she has to do is convince her husbands to make the trip. But the fringe of the galaxy is a vast place, and the Hive is a powerful foe. Even with the fierce protective devotion of each of her husbands, Evonne's search for support is a struggle, and this quest is fraught with dire warnings and loss. When she is called before the Coalition of Planets on charges of obstruction of a Matriarch's challenge, Evonne and Kalerant use any means necessary to convince the regents to back the mission to reunite her with her daughter.
