The 43rd colony mission was supposed to be a boring space flight to our new home world of Ayama. When tragedy strikes, leaving teenager Indy Stewart an orphan in space, things start to get interesting. Throw in illegal races, flight school, boys and an explosive subterfuge which just seems to keep on unravelling around her and you have one hell of a journey.

“MAYDAY, MAYDAY…43, DAWNBREAKER HAS CRASHED…HELP…REPEAT….CRASH-LANDED…CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?” The day the Dawnbreaker exploded and we crash-landed changed not just my life, but also thousands of others’ lives for good. Faced with an uncertain future on a mysterious and unknown planet, I am forced to adapt quickly. When it becomes clear we are not the only ones on this world, we need to try and gain their trust and friendship, or we will unwittingly start a war we have no chance of winning. With my men at my side, I can take on anything—at least, I think so. But what if the men I trusted are hiding secrets of their own? Lies unravel, truths are revealed, and The Saviours live on. With enemies on all sides and people looking to me for guidance, will I bend and break, or stand tall and come out stronger than ever? I’m Indy Stewart, a member of Colony Mission 43, and I am a survivor—whatever it takes.
