Starview Station orbits Kestris in ruin, a tangle of wreckage and jettisoned bodies. Yet, alleged perpetrators, the Red Kestrels, remain silent….

Samantha, Decker, and the crew of the Matilda have narrowly escaped into jumpspace after the attack, their destination the Fringe as they return to the only lead Samatha has: the Red Kestrel leader, Kat Basara. Disavowed by the Imperium and without support, Samantha must win over a crew who has no reason to trust her.

Now a commander in the Imperium Navy, Renic continues to carry out the whims of the ultimate puppet-master, Fleet Marshal Gallow. With a new intelligence division to lead and acts of sabotage to commit, Renic looks forward to operating with little resistance. That is, until his arrogance alerts Director Clarke and Julian to his schemes.

When her unit is tasked with finding the information breach within their ranks, Qin is thrust into the center of an investigation that may put her career—and life—at risk.

The gambit has escalated; Gallow has orchestrated it to perfection. It seems as if Samantha can do nothing to stop it. But, as with everything in the world of imperial espionage, nothing, and no one, is what it seems.
