Darik thought he had finally beaten the odds...

After a childhood in the slums and years of running, he survived the Solar Communalists, survived being used, survived being hunted, and clawed his way into something that almost felt like a life. In Havenmill, he has honest work in Uncle Billy’s kitchen, warm food, and a bed that is his. Better still, he has Reva and Nareen, two cousins who want him for themselves and for each other, and who have made it clear they are not asking him to choose.

Then the past finds him.

The terrorist who once took Darik under his wing has unfinished business, and the regime he helped serve has not forgotten its enemies. When whispers of hidden tech, stolen warheads, and off-world power start to move through the wrong hands, Darik’s fragile peace shatters. A single job turns into a chase, and the mountain above Havenmill becomes a doorway.

Buried beneath Mount Alimazi lies Black Silver, an ancient Baranese starship, and with it a secret that powerful people will burn nations to possess. As war tightens across Hookyo Sh’Ugon and the sky threatens to turn white with fire, Darik has only one choice.

Protect the women he loves, or lose them to a world that never intended to let him live free.
