A world of ancient alien mysteries, ruthless enemies, and two unlikely allies in a race against time.
Raina Blackthorne is a fugitive with a secret past, and her only ally is Akrep, an enigmatic off-world investigator with lethal skills. When a bombing shatters the uneasy peace, Raina and Akrep are thrust into a deadly chase, pursued by both the government and rebel fanatics.
Together, they must navigate a city in ruins, harnessing forgotten alien technology while uncovering a plot that could threaten the entire sector. As secrets unravel and danger mounts, their bond grows—but trust could be the costliest risk of all.
Can Raina control her latent abilities before time runs out, or will both be caught in the crossfire of a planet on the brink?
