Edie is finally done with crime. She spent eight years behind bars, and that can change you. It costs you the precious time that you could have spent with the people who need it from you. But she knows who to blame. It’s all Angel’s fault.

She was the one who sold Edie out in a moment that should have been their greatest. Instead she had to go to an icy prison planet that was far below skybridges and the Kepler space station– her home– to spend the better part of a decade on her own.7

When a chance to get early parole appears, Edie finds that she’s free. But when she steps into the sunlight, she finds that it’s Angel waiting for her. And that Judas has an offer for her.

She’s offering Edie one last deal, one final target, one last job. Worse, it features the trillionaire tech god that they could not bring down last time. She just has to trust Angel, which is easier said than done.
