Heading into the outer reaches of known space in search of a legendary alien race, the volcyn or 'the people of the gulf' are a nine-strong crew of the starship Nightflyer.

Led by Karoly d'Branin and captained by the mysterious royd Eris, who has sealed himself off from the crew and appears only as a hologram who drifts among them, he sometimes plays chess with the beautiful warrior, Melantha Jhirl.

As strange, macabre accidents befall them one by one, is there someone else on board?

Someone who wants the ship to themselves? Royd won't say.

But the Volcryn are near...
