Six months after the Korrath Station job, Kira Voss and her crew are living on borrowed trust—and borrowed time. When stolen data points to the oldest Gravity Core ever recorded, the score is impossible to ignore: a derelict research station hanging in the warped orbit of a black hole, where every hour inside costs seven on the outside.
The prize could buy their freedom. It could also answer the one question Kira can't stop circling—what really happened the night Sable died.
But the station isn't empty. Its fragmented AI has spent centuries studying the Core and whispering a terrifying theory: the Cores aren't just power sources—they're shards of the Barkas Great Voice legend, a buried consciousness someone may be trying to rebuild... or weaponize.
Now Kira must pull off a black-hole heist against a clock that doesn't play fair, a mind that won't stay quiet, and an unseen collector hunting Cores who's always one move ahead.
A high-stakes space-opera heist packed with found-family tension, cosmic secrets, and a relentless ticking clock.
