"A fresh sci-fi for the modern era that successfully balances serious themes with exciting space opera." -Spells & Spaceships

 A rebel pilot teams up with a war-torn diplomat in a bid to win her people's freedom — but an impossible choice awaits...

On a lone wind-shaped world, the Motes are on the brink. Razor, a bold and daring pilot, leads a last-ditch gambit against their local oppressors, the Targitians. The plan - abduct visiting Ambassador Keen Draden and use him as a bargaining chip to restore Mote independence on Kol-2. But when the operation unravels, Razor is forced to renegotiate terms with the arrogant diplomat.

Racing the planet's raging wind tides, the two struggle to maintain a fragile pact. But Keen's dubious past rises and Razor's resolve falters. Opportunity and obligation clash in a confrontation over honor, family, and revenge that binds their futures more tragically than they ever thought possible.
