But hiding them as stowaways on the ship is illegal, and if any of them were found, not even her mother could protect Cira from the consequences.She has successfully kept her secret…until supplies start to go missing. Food. Clothing. Tools. All signs point to her stowaways, but they wouldn’t do anything to risk exposing themselves—or her.

Someone she might even be falling in love with...And petty thefts are only the beginning—whole ships are disappearing now.Not caught in a firefight. Not destroyed by another planet. Vanishing. Without a trace.And Pax Novis is next. less
