Everyone in the universe knows his name. Everyone in the universe fears him. But no one realises that notorious outlaw Ia C?cha is a seventeen-year-old girl.

A criminal mastermind and unrivalled pilot, Ia has spent her life terrorising the Olympus Commonwealth, the imperialist nation that destroyed her home. When the Commonwealth captures her and her true identity is exposed, they see Ia's age and talent as an opportunity: by forcing her to serve them, they will prove that no one is beyond their control.

Soon, Ia is trapped at the Commonwealths military academy, desperately plotting her escape. But new acquaintances including Brinn, a seemingly average student with a closely-held secret, and their charming Flight Master, Knives cause Ia to question her own alliances. Can she find a way to escape the Commonwealths clutches before these bonds deepen?

In this exhilarating edge-of-your-seat sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of The Lunar Chronicles debut author Maura Milan introduces our world to a thrilling new heroine.
