Sixteen-year-old Elara Vayle was never meant to leave the Dredges…
Elara Vayle escaped the undercity by stealing her way onto a starship.
Now that starship is falling apart.
The deep-space freighter Aurora carries a small crew across a divided galaxy where political rivalries run hot and trust is fragile. When a mysterious sabotage begins spreading through the ship’s systems, every malfunction pushes the Aurora closer to disaster.
No one trusts the stowaway. No one trusts each other.
And the only ally Elara may have is the ship’s AI—an intelligence built from the neural patterns of her father.
To survive, she’ll have to uncover who’s sabotaging the Aurora… before the ship becomes the first casualty of something far larger.
