Zervana is a space pirate, for she has no other choice. She lives in a galaxy where interstellar travel belongs to the rich. Long ago, GIBB corp. built portals between planets, but the only way through them is by drinking the company’s high-priced elixirs. If Zervana doesn’t raid GIBB shipments and give the means of space travel to the poor, then who will?
Milo is a space pirate, for he has no other choice. He’s a Mesito, the last remaining of an eradicated, shape-shifting species thought too dangerous to roam the galaxy. His life is lived in shadows and he has nowhere to turn besides Zervana’s rebellious arms. If Milo stops assisting her in piracy, will she still harbor him?
Zervana and Milo’s splintering relationship is soon the least of their worries. Enter another band of pirates with their own histories and turmoil, the accelerating pursuit of the GIBB corporation, and—at the heart of everything—a generational secret which threatens to destroy the entire galaxy. If Zervana hopes to save her worlds, first she must reckon with them.
