There’s a fine line between survival and cruelty . . .

Pendt Harland’s family has seen her as a waste of food on their long-haul space cruiser ever since her genes revealed an undesirable mutation when she was only a small child. But thirteen years later, her unique genetic makeup might be her chance to do much more than survive—if she plays her cards right.

During a routine stop at a space dock, Pendt risks everything on a one-way escape plan. While on the run, she forms a lucky bond with the teenage heirs of the powerful family that runs the space station, and against long odds, the trio hatches a scheme to take over the station and thwart the destinies they never wished for
