For Interceptor Team Zuma’s Ghost, second place in last year’s Boarding Games still stings. They’re determined to win this time—until a last-minute personnel shakeup threatens everything. Their best fighter is gone, and in his place comes Maxine Carmichael, a lieutenant desperate to prove herself outside the shadow of her powerful family.
Max isn’t looking for drama. She just wants to belong. But trust is fragile on Jupiter Station, and with the Games fast approaching, her new team doesn’t have time for doubt.
Then a simple retrieval mission spirals into sabotage, murder, and a conspiracy with stakes far beyond their medals. To survive, Max and Zuma’s Ghost must pull together—or risk losing more than the Games.
Because this time, the enemy is playing for keeps.
