Once an orphaned space outlaw, Ana has risen to become the Empress of the Iron Kingdom—but the galaxy believes she's dead. After narrowly escaping the clutches of the dark AI known as the HIVE, she's desperate to rescue Di from its grasp and reclaim her throne.

Her only hope lies with Starbright, the elusive hacker who once survived the HIVE. But seeking out Starbright comes at a steep cost. The crew of the Dossier is thrust into perilous territories, confronting the ancient deity known as the Great Dark.

As danger closes in, Jax, the sharp-witted pilot, must face the shadows of his past, while Robb grapples with his feelings for Jax and questions his place among the misfits. Together, they must defy impossible odds to stop the Great Dark once and for all.

Will they prevail before the darkness consumes them all?
