She wants out, destiny has other plans.
Maia carries a terrible burden—knowing that her mother was a treacherous double-crosser responsible for the undoing of her people. Her plan to cope with it is simple: shut it all out, people, memories of her mother, and most of all, the truth.
But that’s not meant to be.
Forced into the Alliance Initiative—a dubious peace project touted to unite the warring nations on her planet—Maia begins the journey of a lifetime. She visits a galaxy roving planet-spaceship, learns telekinetics, and befriends people from the undersea colonies.
But when she stumbles upon an unexpected truth about her past, Maia wishes her mother was just a turncoat she had learned to hate. Because sometimes, knowing a hero can be more terrifying than knowing a villain. And being part of a lofty cause can come at a dreadful price.
