Publisher's Synopsis
'Hurley's world-building is phenomenal . . . highly engaging' Publishers Weekly
The first instalment of the action-packed Bel Dame Apocrypha trilogy - perfect for fans of Becky Chambers and N. K. Jemisin
Nyx is a bel dame, a bounty hunter paid to collect the heads of deserters - by almost any means necessary.
'Almost' proved to be the problem.
Cast out and imprisoned for breaking one rule too many, Nyx and her crew of mercenaries are all about the money. But when a dubious government deal with an alien emissary goes awry, her name is at the top of the list for a covert recovery.
While the centuries-long war rages on only one thing is certain: the world's best chance for peace rests in the hands of its most ruthless killers. . .
