They toppled a nefarious tournament to emancipate the contestants from being devoured. Now to save a boy from eternal assimilation, they fly into the belly of another beast. Rison Ecks is fresh off an escape from imprisonment for attempted assassination. Her crew, a hodgepodge of other dissenters, are focused on liberating a boy to pay off a debt to a fallen comrade, but all Rison wants is out of danger. The man she essentially decapitated. The woman whose plans she’d dashed. The government bent on her eradication. With the help of a sect of accommodating rebels and an unlikely ally, they’ll try to eliminate the network consuming the galaxy’s sacrifices.
