From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin. In an all-too-plausible future where corporate conglomerates have left the world's governments in shambles, anyone with means has left the polluted Earth for the promise of a better life on a SpaceTech owned colony among the stars. Maiť Martinez is the daughter of an Earther Latina and a powerful Aunare man, an alien race that SpaceTech sees as a threat to their dominion. When tensions turn violent, Maiť finds herself trapped on Earth and forced into hiding. For over ten years, Maiť has stayed hidden, but every minute Maiť stays on Earth is one closer to getting caught. She's lived on the streets. Gone hungry. And found a way to fight through it all. But one night, while waitressing in a greasy diner, a customer gets handsy with her. She reacts without thinking. Covered in blood, Maiť runs, but it's not long before SpaceTech finds herі Arrested and forced into dangerous work detail on a volcano planet, Maiť waits for SpaceTech to make their move against the Aunare. She knows that if she can't somehow find a way to stop them, there will be an interstellar war big enough to end all life in the universe. There's only one question: Can Maiť prevent the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?
