Peace was never part of the mission. But neither was the truth.
On the arid world of Lomari, the greatest threat lies just beyond the stars. The Neyreid Void—a lawless stretch of space haunted by pirates—has long been a place of fear and silence.

As tensions between worlds teeter on the edge of annihilation, Sumai faces an impossible choice: remain loyal to the lies that raised her, or stand with those she once vowed to destroy.
And time is running out.
