Valen Sitara is halfway across the stars when Rayne Nielson disappears, and every instinct he has tells him she did not leave by choice. If he goes after her, he abandons his current mission. If he doesn’t, he abandons the woman he loves.
Valen has spent his life accepting the cost of leadership, but this choice cuts closer than any battlefield decision. His orders are clear, his responsibilities unrelenting. Before he can get his orders changed and hunt for Rayne, his crew takes matters into their own hands and launches after Rayne without him. Valen is left behind to face the fallout of a choice he never got to make.
The only way to follow his ship and help Rayne runs through a mothballed ship and a group of fleet school cadets who are determined to take things into their own hands. All they need is a captain for their ‘borrowed’ ship.
Rayne Nielson and her ship are captured by a man who has spent six years turning his hatred for her father into a debt only she can pay.
Held by a pirate who intends to break her and use her capture to frame an entire species, Rayne must keep her crew alive while the clock runs down on everything she cares about. She has no reinforcements, no rescue in sight, and no room for mistakes. What she does have is a ship that refuses to die and a crew that knows how to fight when escape is the only option left.
Valen, the cadets, and his crew are all pulled toward the same point in space, each risking everything to find and rescue Rayne. A single act of revenge threatens to shatter alliances and light the fuse on something far larger than either of them. Their captor isn''t counting on two mercenary ships hunting for him. Meanwhile, Rayne and her crew haven’t been passive prisoners. Because when it comes to action, the crew of the Independence are at their most deadly when they’re cornered.
