Lost at the edge of the galaxy, Daemen is a planet that lives and dies on the concept of luck itself. Once rich and boundless, Daemen and its people languish, forgotten.Returning the man named for the planet to his home becomes the first stop for the ship and its crew. What they find there may make it their last. Not only because of the relics of an ancient civilization sleeping beneath the planet’s surface, but those aboveground who are determined to keep it hidden and sleeping.
