Description
In the lightless reaches between stars, Ishara Ming survives the destruction of her whaling ship—only to be left with a metal-plated arm, a damaged memory chip, and a single, consuming purpose: vengeance against the Ballena, a legendary sentient spacecraft that seems to haunt the void. As she gathers a crew of misfits to hunt it down, her bond with Quinn—her steadfast first mate and the one person who believes her—collides with the arrival of Augustus, a ship mech whose own motives and specialized tracking method may finally make the impossible hunt real. But every risky order tightens the pull between love, loyalty, and the stories Ishara tells herself about what happened, and what she’s willing to become to make it right. Blending high-stakes spacefaring adventure with themes of identity, memory, and found family, this fast, character-driven tale from T. A. Chan delivers a darkly lyrical, emotionally charged chase through the celestial seas.
