“Trust your machines, trust your family, trust yourself.”
Chloe Hughes lives on the edges of interstellar society where these principles define her life – until the day her family are kidnapped and her machines stolen. Pursued by psychics, oligarchs and government agents, Chloe has only herself to rely on. The people after her seem to fear powers she doesn't know she has, but Chloe feels all too powerless.
Enter Rudy Algreil. Tournament mechaneer, oligarch's son, smart mouthed and sexy, Rudy is everything Chloe's parents warned her about. If she goes against her spacer instincts and extends her trust to Rudy, she could lose herself all too easily. But if she tries to go it alone, she'll never see her parents again.
For Chloe, it's no choice at all.
With Rudy's help, she must confront the power-brokers who took her parents and discover the secret of her powers. Together, they'll have to face scheming oligarchs, fearless officers, exiled nobles, magisterial bureaucrats, cunning criminals, and even the sinister psychic secret police of the Federal Senate: the Animus Hunters.
The greatest danger to Chloe might be losing herself, though... either to her feelings for Rudy, or to the terrifying, addictive rush of her own powers.
