Axia’s life on a remote asteroid is dull but safe—until someone tries to kill her. Now, faced with a deadly choice, she escapes with a pair of rogues who have their own hidden agenda. In the lawless reaches of Shatterspace, power rules, and Axia’s survival hinges on deception.
The catch? She’s the perfect double for Blacktongue, a legendary pirate queen who vanished chasing an unfathomable treasure. Forced into a dangerous charade, Axia must navigate treacherous Wildspace, outwit cutthroat marauders, and embrace a life of high-stakes adventure—or be swallowed by the void.
But can she survive long enough to claim Blacktongue’s secrets as her own? Or will the real danger come from those she trusts most? The stars are calling, but they may demand blood.
