Baz and Keira want to be smugglers. Unfortunately, they’re not very good at it.
They have a battered ship, and just enough credits to keep the Wit’s End barely flying.
One mistake and they lose everything.
Then a fixer named Sylvia offers them work.
The jobs sound simple: move cargo, make a pickup, deliver a message. Nothing glamorous. Nothing heroic.
But every job pulls them deeper into a world of secrets, shady deals, and people who don’t take no for an answer.
Soon Baz and Keira are lying to officials, threatening strangers, and realizing the truth far too late:
Sylvia doesn’t hire people she plans to let walk away.
All they wanted was a chance to climb out of the gutter.
Instead, they may have just signed away their future.
This prequel to The Wit’s End Arc is perfect for fans of fast-paced space opera, snarky antiheroes, and galaxy-spanning conspiracies.
