How much havoc could one young Upworlder wreak?
After thirty years living in exile from her homeworld, Nara grew weary of the monotony of mercenary life: Do job for Company A, anger Company B, then diffuse the inevitable retaliation. Repeat ad nauseam.
Most importantly, try hard not to piss off the ruthless Galavantier Corp again. A task easy enough- until the unconscious body of the Biotech's heir lands at her feet.
Both ignorant of their mutual vendetta, the brazen aristocrat offered her a proposal: help him escape Uppercity in exchange for every tool of destruction her heart desired.
As their business relationship evolves into a tenuous comradery, Nara is thrown in the midst of a cutthroat power shift within the heart of Galavantier Corp. She must now decide: return to the safety of her hermetic lifestyle, or aid her strange bedfellow to break the chains of noble obligations-and hope to survive the aftermath.
