Phaet Theta’s plan: live peacefully in the lunar colony, work hard, become a scientist, and enjoy a quiet future in the government’s radar. Then her mother is arrested. The new plan: Enlist in the Militia, learn everything she can from top trainee Wes, and become the youngest Militia captain in history so she can save her family.

It all seems perfect. Until Phaet’s logically ordered world begins to crumble.
