Fia loves her job as an electrician aboard a space-faring city vessel. She is skilled at her work, and appreciates not having too much facetime with other humans. She just has one problem: a colleague has taken an interest in her—interest she doesn't return. When she finally works up the courage to tell him no, he takes offense and reports her to her supervisor for insubordination. Her punishment? Her boss assigns her to repair the conduits in the bowels of the ship, reported to be haunted by a ghostly voice. As Fia nervously delves into the darkest, most unknown corners of the ship she calls home, she wonders just what she will find down there: friend or foe? Or something else entirely? This is a short story set in the Rove City universe, set roughly 150 years prior to book 1, Midnight Wings.

In El's fantasies, she pilots a fighter jet for the intergalactic fleet. In reality, she's a mechanic whose social grid ranking guarantees she'll never advance beyond the lowest grunt work, and a slave in all but name to her cruel and self-centered stepmother and stepsisters. The most she can hope for is a few stolen moments of happiness practicing on her sisters' flight simulators, or talking to the mysterious stranger she met on an illicit night of stargazing. When the queen announces a competition to find new pilots for the fleet, El knows this is her chance to escape. But her stepmother will never let her compete—and then she learns that her new friend, the one person she thought she could trust, was hiding a secret that changes everything between them. It's a good thing she has a lot more friends than she thinks she does. Exciting, fast-paced, and hopeful, this science fiction retelling of Cinderella is the first in the Rove City series.
