She Wasn't Supposed To Survive She Isn't Ready To Fight Theses Enemies She Can't Deny Her Ability To Kill
They call him a psychopath, but Valora Martin calls Aeryk brother. When the Zerian ship Scimitar's artificial intelligence sends a mayday that pinpoints Valora's location on the planet Arnes, Aeryk's lust for revenge on his sister drives him to mutiny and massacre. He directs the commandeered ship Turi to Arnes, intending to destroy Valora's world. But the shadows aboard his ship have more in mind for both him and Valora. Valor followed her father's advice, "Success in war...by any means necessary." The Scimitar with friend and family aboard obliterated and her body disfigured to power a weapon against an alien threat. Unfortunately for Valora, she lived. Now she is forced to face the consequences of "by any means necessary" and a life without an Ethos-powered suit. Her fellow EOS Soldiers are wounded, and the chosen recipient of her former Ethos Operating System is a mere child. The tension in the Arnesian colony under its corrupt new government bursts into chaos with Aeryk's arrival. Will she see the shadows before it's too late? With her world at stake, can Valora rise to defeat all her enemies?
