Aurora Gem Tempest yearns to shatter the fragile image her parents hold of her, determined to match the resilience of her older brother, Polaris. Yet, her quest for validation takes an unintended detour when she unwittingly aids a high-risk prisoner’s escape from the icy reaches of Europa.

Amidst this chaos, a pressing question haunts them: Who are their true adversaries, and what secrets lie hidden within the enigmatic Aurora Treaty of Worlds?
