Duty. Redemption. Survival.When Peacemakers begin vanishing across the stars, Guild Master Hak-Chet made a promise to find them, and the Sidar veteran left the safety of the Guild to investigate a mutilated body found on Maelstrom Station—a decaying crossroads of smugglers, mercenaries, and broken dreams.But the mission unraveled fast. Ambushed and betrayed, Hak-Chet was forced into hiding alongside Seeley, a synthetic construct haunted by the echoes of the woman he once called friend. Stranded on a hostile world, the pair must outthink and outfight those who would see them dead—while uncovering a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the Guild’s walls.As the truth surfaces, Hak-Chet is forced to confront not just his enemies, but the ghosts of his own past. The missing Peacemakers were only the beginning. The greater threat is what their disappearance was meant to hide.
