Before he became a tyrant, Hope Hubris was just a boy running for his life.
When Hope defends his sister from the predatory heir of a powerful family, his peasant household is forced to flee Callisto. Pursued across the deadly landscapes of Jupiter’s moons, they join a crowded bubble of refugees desperate for safety and asylum.
But danger doesn’t end in escape. High space belongs to pirates, brutal men who rob, kill, and destroy with impunity. Against their savagery, survival is almost impossible.
Hope learns quickly that innocence offers no shield. What he witnesses in the void will shape him forever. To endure, he must fight back. And every scar, every loss, sharpens a resolve that will one day demand revenge.
