Cityrise

A bounty too good to pass up and too dangerous to keep. With Bat in tow and Zane sticking to him like glue, Aaron combs an unfamiliar undercity for a pathway to the surface—or someone criminal enough to take him there.

Laying low on the glittering planet is tough enough without asking questions, and worse with Zane's brotherly bonding attempts infiltrating every situation. A bribed casino owner leads to both the surface and the capital of Amethyst, a shimmering gambling city packed with the strangest humans Aaron's run across. Worse, such a high reward is drawing other bounty hunters, both human and otherwise.

With few leads, fewer resources, and Zane haunting their steps, Aaron and Bat race against the clock to find the mysterious woman on the bounty charts before anyone else. If she doesn't find them first.

Cityrise is the fourth episode in the action-packed space opera series In Dying Starlight. Featuring a grumpy sarcastic cyborg, a talking badger, plenty of space travel, a cast of oddball characters, and a bit of romance later on, In Dying Starlight is perfect for fans of Star Wars, Firefly, and Blade Runner.
