Once a hero in a battle she can’t remember, Isla Tarle has settled into obscurity—except she still sleeps with her weapon fully powered and the lights on. She doesn’t know how she survived the fight that scarred her, and she’s done everything she can to bury those memories, finding escape in the thrill of racing. This race is her chance to shine—until someone tries to take her out, not just from the competition, but from life itself. Then there’s the Sparrow, determined to save her, though Isla is convinced he’s the one who needs protection. Now he has dragged her into a deadly world of illegal mining and the forbidden liquid metal that once powered the universe. As her pursuers close in, Isla is forced back into the shadows, where a long-buried truth about that fateful battle waits to be uncovered. And someone will do anything to keep her memories suppressed. Isla may not survive this time, but as the memories start to resurface, she begins to understand why she wasn’t supposed to survive.
