About the book

Smuggler Captain Mara Eljin thought she’d seen the worst the galaxy could throw at her—until she crossed paths with exiled xeno-archaeologist Dr. Keiran Solari. When Solari’s discovery of a fifty-thousand-year-old Dyson-ring fragment threatens to unlock a weaponized prison of unimaginable power, Mara must choose between evading the Empire or striking back at the tyranny that destroyed her home.

Pursued by the remorseless Admiral Rhoke and racing against the ring’s self-destruct protocol, Mara, Solari, and their ragtag crew must outwit advanced AI guardians, treacherous gravitonic storms, and each other’s buried secrets to save frontier worlds from extinction.
