Publisher Description

From the award-winning author comes a gripping, fast-paced and fascinating science fiction adventure.

Vividly imagined and sharply written, fans of Ann Leckie and Becky Chambers will be engrossed.

When Nicola Mafalda's scout ship comes under attack, she's left deeply traumatised by the drastic action it takes to keep her alive.

Months later, when an old flame comes to her for help, she realises she has to find a way to forgive both the ship and her former lover.

Reckless elements are attempting to reactivate a giant machine that has lain dormant for thousands of years.

To stop them, Nicola and her crew will have to put aside their differences, sneak aboard a vast alien megaship, and try to stay alive long enough to prevent galactic devastation.
