introduction: Alanna Summers has been hiding her entire life. Hiding how she looks, hiding what she can do, hiding who she is. Doing her best to avoid notice has gotten her stuck in a dead end job, on a dead end asteroid, fighting what she is quietly starting to suspect is a dead end war. Serving as second in command of a deep space mining station so deep in enemy territory, everyone seems to have forgotten they exist, Alanna makes a controversial choice to protect her people. As the consequences of her decision unfold, she comes face to face with the enemy, only to find an ally in the most unexpected of places. Alanna’s world is about to change. Because whether she likes it or not, she will get noticed. And an unlikely friendship will change the fate of an entire solar system, and beyond.
