Shadows Before Sunrise

Solve the riddle. Find the treasure. Save their home. Such a simple plan. What could possibly go wrong?

When Kailey Jackson found the coordinates to an undiscovered Asur outpost, she never thought things would get quite so… complicated. Or dangerous.

Before their disappearance, the enigmatic Asur scattered outposts across the galaxy. Outposts stocked with advanced weapons, mechs, and more credit than most beings see in their lifetime. They left clues behind, riddles wrapped in songs, that few are able to understand, let alone solve.

But Kailey specializes in the Asur. She knows how they think, knows how to translate their runes. With her Kitsoonay sister Jinx at her side, she thought they could handle any competition—until the Badar Syndicate gets involved. A chance meeting with the Lancers mercenary company might just be the help they so desperately need.

Can they solve the riddle in time to secure the treasure? Or will the Badar Syndicate find them first?

No matter how dangerous things get, Kailey refuses to quit. Not when failure could mean losing everything… and everyone.
