Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of Engineering Officer jobs, until a classmate turned up dead
at the graduation party. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation…and any semblance of civilized society.

But only if she’s willing to make an ore run back to the place she’s wanted for murder, and into the arms of the authorities…who somehow know she’s coming.
