Uncovering ancient secrets, evading certain death—welcome to Darla’s daily grind.
Reclusive treasure hunter Darla Oswiu is closing in on the relic she covets the most, the lost star chart to Old Earth— but she’s not the only one who’s after it.
When she discovers someone planted explosives on her spaceship, it's clear that her life of quiet anonymity is over. But Darla is cunning, curmudgeonly, and perhaps a bit paranoid—traits that have kept her alive on the lawless fringes of the galaxy.
To get her relic, she takes on a job that forces her to face her past. Even worse, her newest contact breaches her emotional defences and makes her care—something she vowed never to do again.
With her history haunting her every move, and her isolated heart at risk, can Darla stay one step ahead, or will her past finally catch up with her?
