They say Llynfall is the most beautiful settlement in human space. But one engineer's search for her missing brother will change its fate forever.

When engineer Aimee MacKenna goes to the scrapyard for parts, she sees a sleek, obsidian data pad that could help her find her brother.

The problem? That data pad belongs to a ruthless galactic empire that'll burn her home to get it back.

Up on the settlement's moon, jaded military officer Blair Redpath spends his days staring at the bottom of a whiskey glass. He has good reason to - someone he trusted stole his groundbreaking software and made billions from it.

But when Aimee's decision brings an entire fleet of enemy ships to the system, he finds new purpose, and might just use his talents to save Llynfall.

Making things worse, there's a secret piece of alien technology underneath Llynfall. It was there before humans settled Callandria. And some - Blair among them - think it's the real reason the enemy's fleet lords are so interested in taking the settlement for themselves.

Embark on a high-stakes space opera adventure with ancient alien mysteries and heroes who refuse to give up. If you wanted more from your favourite character-driven science fiction, like Firefly or Mass Effect, then this series is for you.
