eBook Description: Toni has spent her life in space, so she's used to zero-G maneuvers and calculating orbital trajectories. Wagner's operas were not part of her curriculum. But when Hagen rents her father's ship to stage Das Rheingold, she learns that she's not what she thought she was, Hagen is not what she thought he was, and the "official" story of the Rheingold may not be all of the story, or even a very accurate version. If she expects to survive--and save the world from the Ring and a curse that has no room for love--she's going to have to be a fast study.

"But, Father, I don't understand. Why are we here?" Toni waved a hand at the countryside around here. "There's so much dirt--and bugs! This is not my idea of how to celebrate my sixteenth birthday!"

Not that Toni thought her father cared how she wanted to celebrate her birthday. He had always treated her rather like some alien lifeform he didn't quite trust. She wondered sometimes if things would have been different if she had been a boy--or if her mother had lived long enough for Toni to remember her.

Her father's laugh sounded forced. "There speaks a girl who's spent too much of her life in space." He swung the picnic basket in his left hand and grabbed her arm with his right. "Come along; there's something I have to show you."

Toni perforce accompanied him, looking dubiously about her. "You've been acting weird ever since Mr. Hagen came on board. Why is he chartering the Loge's Fire anyway? If all he wants is to stage an opera, he could rent part of one of the L5 stations."
