A saboteur on the loose.
A target on her back.
An enemy wearing the face of a friend.

Faith believed in the benevolence of the Company, until it used her code to frame her lover, then tried to kill them both. She left Home World for independent planet Iona, hoping to ditch her traumatic past. But now a mysterious someone is attacking her new home planet with a chemical that throws victims into stasis and turns them blue. Faith sees the Company’s fingerprints all over it, and linking the Company to the attacker might save Iona from both. But can she make the connection before she becomes the next victim?

The saboteur’s gone but Iona is far from safe. Can Faith finally save her home?

Faith’s efforts to secure Iona’s independence lie in ruins, and Company’s poised to take over Iona, “temporarily,” of course. More than ever, she’s convinced something terrible is coming to Iona–soon. She can’t give up, but wrenching the planet free of the Company’s grasp may require taking the ultimate gamble with a reclusive disgraced biochemist. Will the risk be enough to save Iona for good this time? And if Faith succeeds, will it have been worth leaving everything–and everyone–she loves behind?
