Aralyn Solari has always followed the runner's standard: Get in, get out, get paid. But that was before Eladia Galven, the woman responsible for the orachal trade in Sol, went and made things personal by kidnapping Kragg, the man who'd raised Aralyn as his own daughter. Now, after months of searching down every dead-end lead to find him, Aralyn and her team, Caden, Kita, and Riordan, finally have a chance to not only find Kragg, but to track Eladia down and make her pay for what she's done and all of the people she's hurt. When they get arrested and brought in for questioning, however, all of that changes. Now, Aralyn and the others have no choice but to work with a UDA informant in order to help bring down a rogue agent or get sent to Tartarys, the system's cruelest prison. Becoming undercover operatives isn't all that it's cracked up to be, unsurprisingly, and until they can deliver the necessary goods, they're on their own. With rumors of a new, more powerful strain of orachal being manufactured, Eladia and her people closing in on them, and little time to spare in order to uncover the truth, Aralyn and the others have no choice but to trust the informant, follow the trail, and hope that it winds itself back to Eladia before it's too late.
