Synopsis
Zara Cole has been in and out of New Detroit's rehab facilities for treatment of her antisocial behavior. There's no adjusting Zara's attitude, though. A painful past has made her stronger than most, which is why she chose life in the Zone instead of moving with her family to Mars. In her eyes, living inside a dome isn't much better than a prison cell. Still, when Zara commits a crime that has her running scared, jail might be exactly where she's headed. Instead, Zara is recruited into the Honors, an elite team of humans selected by the Leviathan-a race of sentient alien ships-to explore the outer reaches of the universe as their passengers. Zara seizes the chance to flee Earth's dangers, but when she meets Nadim, the alien ship she's assigned to along with fellow Honor Beatriz, Zara starts to feel at home for the first time, along with a devotion she's never experienced before. Yet nothing-not her Honors training or her street smarts-could have prepared her for the dark, ominous truths that lurk behind the alluring glitter of starlight.
