Beneath a sun deprived sky
For fans of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and The Expanse comes a tale of love and resistance from a new, must-read novelist!
"I get my heart broken, lose folk, scrape bottom, but here is what I'm fighting for. Always...”
On a storm-battered world controlled by a ruthless mining guild, a maze of city-warrens sprawl outside colony walls, its inhabitants exploited for labor, but excluded from any support.
A doctor fleeing her past. Phantom pain from the psychic gift her powerful family repressed drives Del Marks to pursue a calling as a charity doctor. Del brings crucial medical aid to a city warren, Balter's Den, but she learns that serving this community means sharing its very real dangers. Plagued by fears of failure in a system designed to produce just that, she finds comfort and reassurance with fellow outsider, Tam Lyn, an enigmatic stealth worker. Will their alliance be enough to shield Del from the forces uniting against her and Balter's Den?
A spy with a deadly secret. Tam Lyn conceals his half-alien heritage to avoid brutal discrimination. Intrigued by Del's aura, Tam helps her, but finds himself dragged into her mission, imperiling his secret and challenging his self-imposed isolation. As warring gangs thrust Tam and Del into their power struggles, can he allow himself to love Del in the way that he wants and that she needs?
