Stranded on a dead planet with her mortal enemy, a spy must survive
and uncover a conspiracy in the first book of an epic space opera
trilogy by an award-winning author.
She's a revolutionary. Humanity is running out of options. Habitable
planets are being destroyed as quickly as they're found and Naira Sharp
thinks she knows the reason why. The all-powerful Mercator family has
been controlling the exploration of the universe for decades, and
exploiting any materials they find along the way under the guise of
helping humanity's expansion. But Naira knows the truth, and she plans
to bring the whole family down from the inside.
He's the heir to the dynasty. Tarquin Mercator never wanted to run a
galaxy-spanning business empire. He just wanted to study rocks and read
books. But Tarquin's father has tasked him with monitoring the
settlement of a new planet, and he doesn't really have a choice in the
matter.
Disguised as Tarquin's new bodyguard, Naira plans to destroy the
settlement ship before they make land. But neither of them expects to
end up stranded on a dead planet. To survive and keep her secret, Naira
will have to join forces with the man she's sworn to hate. And together
they will uncover a plot that's bigger than both of them.
