With the Erinyes operating in secrecy, Mia and her crew return to KCAP territory on a mission that demands more than firepower. They must infiltrate, investigate, and uncover information hidden behind layers of military security and corporate power. Every step brings them closer to the Protocol—and to the people who have been manipulating events from the shadows.
Yet Mia is beginning to understand that she cannot fight this war alone. Her greatest strength is no longer simply her extraordinary abilities or tactical instincts. It is the crew and allies who have chosen to stand beside her.
As the conspiracy closes around them, Mia realizes the real danger may not be what waits ahead—but what she will have to sacrifice to reach it.
The closer Mia gets to the truth, the more the galaxy seems to disappear beneath her feet.
