In darkness, a great treasure waits…and evil stirs. Sight-Bringer, a mythical longsword crafted by a long-dead race was once the kingdom’s greatest relic. Nicknamed Blood Fiends’ Bane for its arcane potency against the undead, the holy sword has been lost for generations. Legends still tell of how a great hero used the sword to strike down the terrifying Vampire Queen Serina Greywynne, ending her rebellion of blood — and shattering the perfect blade in the resulting cataclysm. But one young soldier is about to discover the legends are built on lies.

It’s not theft if you put it back, right?

After cracking an underwater vault in their first major heist in the Seattle Isles, Isa and her crew think they’re on easy street again—that is, if they can figure out what it is exactly they stole. A question, they soon learn, where their very lives hang in the balance.

Thrust into a high-stakes game of subterfuge and deception by the local mob boss, Isa and her crew must scramble to unravel the mystery of what it is they stole while unseen forces move against them.

Harried. Threatened at every turn. Isa and her crew must stay one step ahead to stay alive.

After the wake of dead bodies left in the Seattle Isles, Isa and Puo retreat to Europe to gain some distance while things settle down. But even on another continent, the Ghost of Winn haunts Isa everywhere she goes. And to make matters worse, Puo won’t shut up about it.

Determined to prove nothing’s wrong, Isa accepts their biggest job yet from a mysterious employer with deep pockets. The employer’s only condition: the inclusion of Liáng, an attractive, well-muscled operative to be embedded with their team.

As the gravity of what Isa took on weighs on them, they learn more about this mysterious employer and that failure isn’t an option—not with the kind of bill they’re racking up. Meanwhile, the authorities are closing in as Isa’s crew isn’t getting any closer to pulling off their job.

With time dwindling, it’s time to try something stupid and reckless—Ghost of Winn be damned.

Her journalistic tendencies though weren’t left behind on earth, and the smaller her planet and her old problems become in the distance behind her, the bigger the real problems of the galaxy loom in front of her. Things are always more than they seem, it was true on earth, and it certainly remains true with Captain Vex and his crew on the Black Orbit.
