Adrana and Fura Ness are looking for adventure, or at least enough treasure to buy back their family’s future. Signing aboard the ship of the daring Captain Rackamore, they use their uncanny Bone Reading abilities to seek out relics hidden across the galaxy’s dead worlds. But the void holds more than riches.
Whispers tell of Bosa Sennen, a pirate whose name drips with dread, and of ancient weapons better left buried. When the sisters’ journey turns from discovery to survival, Fura must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for revenge.
Alastair Reynolds delivers a dark, pulse-pounding space adventure where loyalty is fragile, vengeance burns bright, and the stars hide secrets sharp enough to cut.
The galaxy rewards the brave and punishes the reckless.
