Synopsis

When I was a little girl, the sun stopped. Life on our deck nearly ended, and I was punished for trying to save it. Years later, the threat seems bigger than anyone imagined. But there’s no one else who can put things right...”

Born aboard a multi-generation spaceship, 17-year-old Perdit is a widow, an outlaw, a fugitive, homeless, and jobless. She is also a pilot, an explorer, and gifted with unique genetic enhancements.

Unfortunately, the ship is damaged and off-course. The environment is deteriorating. The citizens are too hampered by protocols to acknowledge the danger, while the all-seeing Navcrew remain inaccessible.

Alarmed by the situation, and with the odds stacked against her, Perdit must overcome self-doubt, leave home, gather allies, and embark on a heroic mission to find the Navcrew and uncover the truth.

Fans of young adult science fiction adventures will want to travel with Perdit as she tries to save humanity.
