Petty criminal Zara Cole has a painful past thatâs made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in New Detroit instead moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isnât much better than a prison cell.
Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where sheâs headed. Instead Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathanâa race of sentient alien shipsâto explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers.
Zara seizes the chance to flee Earthâs dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship sheâs assigned, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time. But nothing could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.
