In the wreckage of a galactic war, survival means more than staying alive.
Bameron Kold knows nothing but ruin. Yorp, his city, bears the scars of endless battles, and danger is constant. When he rescues a crash-landed pilot from the powerful galactic empire, his act of mercy costs him more than he expected. His only ally? A construction robot whose suspicious intelligence could land them both in serious trouble.
With the pilot’s trust uncertain and the fleet’s authorities always watching, Bameron is pulled into a struggle far beyond his world—a fight to protect himself, his unlikely companion, and the future he barely dared to hope for.
Will he survive the price of courage, or will the galaxy’s war swallow him whole?
