A rogue street kid joins a warrior-philosopher and their crew of freedom fighters to take down an empire...
The back alleys of the remote moonbase, Tarkassi 9, are no place for a lone teenager. Ailo's wits and fists are her means of survival, but she wants nothing more than to flee into the wider world of the Sagittarius Arm.
That's where Jati, the Patent War veteran and general fighting the Monopolies gives her a second chance. Ailo's rogue status is just what Jati's People's Army needs to drive the final spike of victory into a weakening Garissian Council.
A team of experts assembles. Hope rests on Ailo's skill, stealth, and tenacity to pull off the impossible. But when an internal shadow rises, Ailo and Jati are forced to weigh the cost of revenge against honor and justice.
