Quentin’s survival depends on deception, secrecy, and a face that isn’t his own.

As the Lleronese government weaves a web of political intrigue, they turn to cloning technology to erase his past and bury the truth about the star gem harvesting operation. Forced into a new identity, Quentin must grapple with the challenge of leading a life hidden in plain sight.

But there’s no sanctuary. Enemies linger around every corner, alliances remain fragile, and betrayal is the only constant. Quentin’s fractured family becomes a casualty of secrets too dangerous to ignore. His love, Saffron, is imprisoned on a remote asteroid, a pawn in a game of cosmic warfare and technology. Determined to set her free, Quentin risks everything, even as his own family fractures under the weight of hidden truths.

From perilous missions and relentless hunters to cloned identities and an empire’s darkest schemes, Quentin’s journey is a brutal clash with the galaxy’s unseen powers. Survival demands sacrifice, but as he navigates deception, Quentin discovers that freedom—true freedom—comes at a price he’s barely begun to comprehend.
