Shot down into a backwater at the system’s edge, she is rescued by Deputy Air Marshall Havemercy Grey. Hav is a true soul, trying to uphold what is right in the heedless wastes. Hav is determined to see justice done. And Hav could sure use that twenty-million bounty … But escorting the most dangerous fugitive in the system across the stars is no easy task, especially when decades of fire and destruction are catching up with her, and every gutspill with a pistol wants that payday. So when Ortiz offers a deal—to keep them both alive, as long as Hav listens to the stories of her lives—Hav can’t refuse. There’s just one catch: everywhere they go, during every brawl and gunfight and explosive escape, people say the same thing—don’t let her talk …
