The year is 2568. Humanity has spread itself thin and wide across the stars. It has been less than half a century since the Paradigm Shift, when the final large-scale government collapsed, leaving thousands of worlds to their own devices.

As the orphaned child of one of these abandoned worlds, Yana now calls Habitat, a post-scarcity space station, her home. Though wanting for nothing, her scars run deep, and she avoids her past by focusing on the present—on her work as an epidemiologist, her pet amoeba, and a quickly crumbling social life.

All this changes when she finds herself accidentally recruited into the Nomadic Exploration Volunteers. Now, with her last shot at happiness on the line, she must either prove her worth, or lose everything.
