'Hurley's world-building is phenomenal . . . highly engaging' Publishers Weekly
The first instalment of the action-packed Bel Dame Apocrypha trilogy - perfect for fans of Becky Chambers and N. K. Jemisin
**Nyx is a bel dame, a bounty hunter paid to collect the heads of deserters - by almost any means necessary.
'Almost' proved to be the problem.**
Cast out and imprisoned for breaking one rule too many, Nyx and her crew of mercenaries are all about the money. But when a dubious government deal with an alien emissary goes awry, her name is at the top of the list for a covert recovery.
While the centuries-long war rages on only one thing is certain: the world's best chance for peace rests in the hands of its most ruthless killers. . .
