Instead, my ship exploded on impact, my beacon died, and I woke up pinned under wreckage with a seven-foot Varkaani gladiator standing over me. Horgox “The Hammer” Ka’reen is emerald-skinned, scar-covered, and hasn’t been touched with kindness in eight years. His bioluminescent markings betray everything he’s feeling when I get close—flushing gold when I make him laugh, burning white when I’m in danger. When ApexCorp comes to reclaim their “defective product,” I don’t run. I stake my entire career on keeping him free. Because Horgox isn’t defective—he’s the best thing that’s ever crashed into my life. I was created to fight.

They spent eight years trying to fix what was never broken. Then a small, stubborn courier crashes through my sky and hands me her tools like I’m not the most dangerous thing on this planet.
