In 2218, Captain Grania O'Ceagan helms the family interstellar freighter Mo Croidhe, navigating the vast and treacherous expanse of space. Yet, the arrival of two enigmatic passengers-a frail old woman with a trunk full of mysterious soil and a suave merchant hiding sinister motives-heralds the beginning of an extraordinary adventure that blurs the boundaries of reality.

Tasked with transporting these duplicitous passengers to the planet Erinnua, Grania's journey spirals into chaos when a critical jump point gate malfunctions, casting her ship adrift outside the wormhole. As isolation and the threat of oblivion loom, the old woman reveals her true nature as a banshee tied to the O'Ceagan family, offering supernatural insights that challenge Grania's grasp of reality. Faced with a labyrinth of familial duty, ancient pacts, and imminent danger, she must protect her crew and their cargo against the unknown.

With the line between myth and reality fading, Grania draws on her ancestors' wisdom and her crew's loyalty to face the looming challenges. As the legacy of the O'Ceagans teeters between the legends of the past and the stark realities of the future, will their combined strength be enough to overcome the forces arrayed against them?
