For a hardrock miner and a mercenary drifter, survival is no longer enough.

Her strength and the song in her heart kept her alive.

Miner Jashanna Riz has lived her entire life of Ydro-Down, bashing the precious spacetime-folding qubition out of unforgiving stone. She fought fiercely alongside her friends at the front line of the rebellion, wielding her hammer to wrest their quarry home away from its cruel corporate overlords. Now begins the delicate work of kindling new life from cold stone...and she's going to start with the aloof mercenary who intrigues her.

Rejecting a fate worse than death, he drifts the Salty Way.

Though his plasma gun is always for hire, Fenn Alexos has only ever truly fought for himself. Calling a dangerous, broken moon home, and defending it against a merciless galaxy? Ridiculous—and impossible. But until the next mission, he'll shoot for the pay...and maybe for the tempting smile of a hardrock miner.

Sharing one bed in the outback of a deadly moon.

Sent out into the remote mountains to rekindle a lost signal, Jashanna and Fenn will unearth a dark secret from the depths that might finally free Ydro-Down—along with the chance to finally choose their own path, bright as the hope of a sunrise to come.
