Perfect for you if...

You enjoy hard sci-fi with tight plotting and don't need romance to drive the plot forward.
You like ensemble casts where minor characters become key players in larger conflicts.
You want space opera that moves quickly without getting bogged down in worldbuilding exposition.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven literary sci-fi where introspection matters more than plot momentum.
You need books with strong romantic subplots or emotional arcs to stay engaged.
You're looking for standalone novels rather than the first book in a trilogy.

About this book

Nicole Lee has no family, no money, and is trapped in a relationship with a criminal named Bungie. When one of his deals fails, both are taken by a mysterious moth-like humanoid to a strange ship called the Fyrantha. Once aboard, Nicole is assigned to work on one of the ship's maintenance crews. The conditions seem unusually favorable, but she quickly senses something is wrong. When instructed to stop asking questions, she realizes she has discovered something significant. Nicole learns that multiple factions are competing for control of the Fyrantha, and she and her companions are being used as pawns in a larger conflict. Determined to stop being manipulated, Nicole decides to fight back. This is the first book in a trilogy.
