This past year, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase produced the now infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness for their planet, and protect them from destruction. Some say Flynn’s a madman, others whisper about conspiracies. No one knows the truth. A yr before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were rescued from an awful shipwreck-now, they live a public life before the video cameras, and a secret life from the world’s gaze.

Now, in the heart of the world on the planet of about Their Fractured Light Corinth, all are about to collide with two new players, who will bring the fight LaRoux Sectors to a head. Gideon Marchant can be an eighteen-year-old computer hacker known in Corinth’s underworld as The Knave of Hearts. He’ll climb, abseil and worm his way past the greatest security methods to accomplish onsite hacks that others don’t dare contact.

Sofia Quinn has a killer smile, and by the time you’re done noticing it, she’s got you giving up your finances, your car, and anything else she wishes. She keeps LaRoux Industries responsible for the mysterious loss of life of her dad and has gone out for revenge at any cost.

When a LaRoux Industries security breach interrupts Gideon and Sofia’s separate attempts to infiltrate their head office, they’re forced to interact to escape. All of them provides their own reason for wishing to take down LaRoux Sectors, and neither trusts the other. But working together might be the best chance they need to expose the secrets LRI is indeed desperate to cover up.
