<b>It's his fault she's lost. Damn those croissants.</b><br>

Since the day he was cast from the orphanage, Rez Dominion has lived his regret. No treasure or conquest or captain's responsibility offers respite from her memory. He has one final lead, a portal to the world floor, and Failure means she's gone forever.<br>

If Rez's life was the only risk, the decision would be easy. But the lives of his crew are on the line, and that of the ship's captivating, infuriating engineer, Lumen Wisenheimer. Rez has a choice. Risk them all and stand a chance... or leave them behind and certainly perish.<br>

As Rez weighs his choice of fates, he is not alone. Someone has been pulling his strings from the beginning. And when a humble voyeur finds herself responsible for Rez's fate, the only ending she can give him... is her own.<br>

<i>If you like clever rogues, rakish banter, and a little romance with your science fiction, you won't want to miss the steampunkiest genre bender since The Neverending Story.</i><br>
