Sparks, Greeta, and Shalk are desperate to make planetfall, to reunite with their loved ones and join the battle. But the Ringdell Group’s blockade stands in their way, leaving them stranded in the void. Hidden in an underground hangar on Flanterian, Reyes faces an impossible task: turning an army of untrainable gloyners into a fighting force. But first, she must confront Piltred, a monstrous brute responsible for decimating half the planet.

Everything has come down to this moment. Fail now, and everyone will die. The ruthless Ringdell Group is on the brink of seizing Flanterian, and it’s all because of Sparks and Reyes. The starship pilot and the brilliant strategist have one last chance to redeem themselves—and save the planet they’ve unintentionally placed in peril. Outnumbered and outgunned, they lead an alliance of unlikely warriors—a determined force of gloyners and hadounds, who refuse to lose their home.

Sparks has made a promise she intends to keep…She must liberate Shalk and return him to his home world of Flanterian. Even if that means infiltrating a prison ship where horrors hide in the shadows. Greeta would leave him to rot for his betrayal, but her allegiance to Sparks is unwavering. Together they board the Sunny Horizon, hopeful, but neither certain they’ll return.
