Planet Lyndir is known for its unique charm, particularly the Between-World where licensed entertainers from the Sa’adani Empire reside.

Among them is Kes, a professional dominatrix who has gained widespread fame and exclusivity at the luxurious Tryst. Her clientele is exclusive and rarified, with one of her most devoted clients being Janus, a prominent crime boss on Lyndir and beyond.

However, Kes’s world is turned upside down when a powerful imperial authority targets Janus and sees Kes as the key to getting rid of him. Despite her loyalty to her clients, Kes is forced to cooperate with Janus’s enemy to protect her fellow Between-World sisters. Against her will, she is transformed into a ruthless weapon using Splintegrate cloning technology, a situation that puts her in grave danger.
