Summary
When Commander Alison "AJ" Shepard opens her eyes two years after her ship was destroyed, she's met not by Alliance colors, but the Cerberus insignia--the human supremacist, terrorist organizations behind her squad's death on Akuze and countless atrocities.
The galaxy has gone on without her, yet one face, Liara T'Soni, lingers like the afterimage of a life she may never have. Feeling more alone than ever, Shepard faces a silent war: human colonies are vanishing without a trace by a threat called the Collectors. The world believes her dead, and loyalties have fractured; every alliance comes at a cost. To stop them, Shepard must gather a crew of specialists, exiles, and ghosts; a thief hiding grief behind mischief, a vigilante thirsting for justice, an ancient warrior whose code shapes her pain, an ex-Alliance soldier keeping her at arm's length, a woman designed, a convict with trust issues, a tank bred krogan, and a scientist equally likely to kill you as he is to save you.
Through it all, Liara threads every thought and decision, reminding her what she's fighting for. Across the gulf of what was lost, she can feel the echo of arms that once held tomorrow, and the promise of love even death can't do part.
