The Snares of Ibex

Aleytys had searched for her mother across the worlds of the inhabited galaxy. Her mother was of a super-race; her homeworld's location a secret. But Aleytys had become an expert star hunter, alert to clues and wary of danger—and she knew that on Ibex her ancestral trail must reach its end.
