Truth has a price.

Reid Taskiran has spent ten years overcoming obstacles on a quest to clear his dead father's name. The Taskiran family was admired until charges of treason against his father echoed across the galaxy-and caught Reid in their net. Though legally cleared, the court of popular opinion still labels him a traitor. He's traveled to a newly terraformed planet, hoping to win a Wormhole Guild internship that will provide access to an exclusive Guild asteroid.

And the keys to family secrets.

When a cyborg claiming to be a family friend makes him an offer he can't refuse, Reid discovers his only chance to uncover the truth risks his entire future. But as the investigation leads Reid down a twisted labyrinth of intrigue, conspiracy, and danger, he encounters a destiny he never saw coming-one that will challenge everything he believes.

Pursued by a deadly foe, Reid races to find out what happened.

If he can't, the next body might be his.
