   Summary

   Shepard had reconciled with death, prepared to give her life to end the Reaper War. She sacrificed her friends, her relationship, and herself to save the galaxy. She never expected to make it out alive.

   Five years have passed since the Battle for Earth and Shepard finds herself adrift in a life she never imagined she'd have. When Primarch Victus offers her a job overseeing a new Spectre training program on Palaven, Shepard accepts immediately. What she isn't prepared for is to be working with Garrus Vakarian again.

   Now she's trying to pick up the pieces of everything she destroyed in her wake.
