Winter Starling is content with her life as a small-time smuggler on the planet Arali until the day she walks into an ambush. She wakes to find someone has taken control of her spinal implant. They not only have the power of life or death over her, they have embedded a message within it that she can’t access. She is given a stark choice.
Deliver the message to Earth or the implant will be destroyed and she will die.
Knowing neither the originator nor the intended recipient, she leaves behind everything and everyone she has learned to rely on, and races to the spaceport in the desperate hope of finding a way off planet.
