Summary
After five years of extortion, pressure, and grief, Shanxi’s colonists have had enough. A select few brave souls lean into the assistance of their supposed enemy to free their fellow colonists from
their true captors. In the midst of the occupation, an obscure mechanic with few memories of her past is an informant and a saboteur of sorts, discreetly assisting their liberators – a “traitor” as their oppressors would say, or a “ghost,” as her correspondents refer to her.She once said that she would fight for something worth dying for until she found something worth living for, but what is the cost of either? With heavy trauma inflicted during the Conflict, she rebuilds and moves forward, seeking an individual and a future that supersedes all else, and changes who she is in pursuit of both. The journey reveals much more about herself than she ever wanted to know…
