Noll and Jayce Morgan are lanehunters-that is to say they are used to perilous spaceship chases through the erratic, wormhole-like space-time tears that plague their cosmos. They are decidedly not used to one of those gateways suddenly changing up its game and separating the twins with only a slight hope of ever finding each other.
Now Noll has to ally with a reclusive alien, a traumatized spy, and a bizarre agent duo in service of the crumbling galactic empire ruining everyone's day to save her brother's life. The clock is ticking, but when the universe turns out to be even stranger than Noll imagined, she's not sure her fear disguised as swaggering grit would pull her through once again.
