Publisher's Synopsis
Rule number 27: Don't trust the weird Sisters.
Or maybe it's don't steal from gangsters. Either way...words to live by.
The Lyra is safe. And so is Alek Wa's secret. His mission is over, and he can leave the ship. But he's not sure he wants to. And when the Sisters of Elazir drop them into the Green Zone, Alek's stomach sinks. The last time he was here, he fled with his life and barely got away.
Rebeka Mino isn't happy to be in the Green Zone, ruled by gangsters and reprobates. She can survive it though - she's been there before. But then things go from bad to worse: her ex shows up with a treasure map to a fabled ship.
With the Lyra back in working order, Tink has no desire to chase after mythical treasure ships. She wants life to get back to normal: odd jobs, the occasional salvage and tinkering in her engine room. But with her secret exposed and unwelcome guests, she doubts if things can ever go back to normal...and Alek Wa is still onboard.
When the gangsters start shooting, their only escape might be to find a lost ship in a dark grave. Can Alek outrun his past? Can Rebeka's ex survive their reunion? Can they uncover the mystery ship and its treasure? Most importantly, can they get out with their lives?
