    Summary

    Captain Aurinko claims she sees evidence of Nureyev having an enduring moral core, a heart that he’s perfectly capable of excising should he so choose.

    She’s right. See, that’s the funny thing about Nureyev’s predicament: it is a prison of his own making. He can stop sending payments, free himself of his constant stress and toil, whenever he so chooses. If only he gives up his heart.

    But his heart is lying in a hospital bed several planets away, near-braindead and hooked up to machines. And he isn’t going to let that heart die. Not for anything.

    Summary

    Peter Nureyev has rescued his family, strengthened those bonds that matter most, and is impossibly close to freeing himself from his bonds. He should be excited, he knows. He should be giddy: with anticipation, with joy.

    He is not. His detective is dead.

    With the help of his family, he moves to resolve his debts. However, when he receives help from several unexpected quarters, he must amass everything he has learned—from his family, and from his lost love—to put together the pieces of this final mystery, before he runs out of time.

    Summary

    Thirty days.

    That’s how long they promised Fjord he’d be down there, under thousands of pounds of pressure, maneuvering and living and working in the pitch black—not space: the ocean.

    It was supposed to be simple. An old friend approaching Fjord at a bar: hey, I think this might be more your speed than mine. He’d accepted because he’d had nothing else, was stagnating after spending a year on land instead of amongst the stars, taking whatever jobs he could. Just him and six other people tracking down a behemoth, solving someone else’s problem.

    It was supposed to be simple but, of course, things rarely ever turned out exactly the way that he expected. Fjord soon finds himself with his life—for better or worse—irreversibly altered as he and his new friends try to put the puzzle pieces together and make it out the other end of this mission alive.
