"A door never closes, but a window opens . . . With origins in the Old Universe, the malevolent, acquisitive intelligence of Tinsori Light sought to infect others with itself, and send those agents out into the wide new universe to infect even more. For centuries, two heroes stood between Tinsori Light and the vulnerable universe-Light Keepers Jen Sin yos'Phelium and Lorith of the Sanderat. Just when it seemed that they-merely human-must fail, Tinsori Light, enfeebled by aged systems, succumbed to the stress of a unique spatial event-and died, leaving the station a shell. Luckily, the light keepers have back-up. A mismatched team of arcane specialists are on-station, working non-step to preserve the Light, build trustworthy systems, and open the refurbished station for business. In fact, ships are already incoming, and it becomes a matter of urgency to sort friend from foe. In particular, the Lyre Institute wishes to acquire Tinsori Light, and will do anything, spend anyone, to achieve that goal"--

The 30th anniversary edition of Lee and Miller's first book of the Liaden Universe. Once a brilliant First-in Scout, Val Con yos'Phelium was "recruited" by the mysterious Liaden Department of Interior and brainwashed into an Agent of Change--a ruthless covert operative who kills without remorse. Rey.
First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of violence - and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious, self-aware ship designed to serve a long-dead trader. Now she has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near mythic ghost ship Bechimo.
Kate Archer, owner-operator of the vintage wooden carousel, is caught up in the excitement - and is quite possibly the cause of it. Because Kate leads a double life, as carny, and as Guardian of the land. Her return to the home she had forsaken has changed the town's luck - for the better - and energized the trenvay - earth and water spirits.
In a universe full of interstellar intrigue and burgeoning commerce, novice Terran trader Jethri Gobelyn, adopted by a Liaden clan after an ill-directed bow of honor insulted the scion of a major Liaden house, is alive and whole to tell the tale.
Aelliana Caylon has endured much, and finally, she appears to have won all: a spaceship, comrades, friends - and the love of a pilot she adores. Even better that her lover - the man who was destined for her, a man as much a loner as she - is also the Delm of Korval, arguably the most powerful person on all of Liad.
Theo Waitley, half-Terran daughter of a Liaden pilot, escapes her stifling homeworld to attend pilot school, where her fierce attitude and extraordinary competence earn her friends - and enemies.
Kate Archer left home years ago, swearing that she would die before she returned to Maine. As plans go, it was a pretty good one - simple and straightforward. Not quite fast enough, though. Before she can quite manage the dying part, Kate gets notice that her grandmother is missing, leaving the carousel that is the family business untended.
Rebecca is expected to marry an elderly rogue, and she seems resigned to it, until Altimere, a Fey, appears and uses his magic to show her two futures. Rebecca chooses the future that includes being married to Altimere. Unfortunately, he has an agenda of his own.
