Alien invasion has rendered Earth uninhabitable. Now, humanity survives in settlements on Mars, the moon, and distant space stations. It’s all people can do to eke out a living from mining, salvage, and scrap.

Twin brothers Denver and Laramie Clayborne’s salvage operation is a small one—just them, their friend Marit, and their quirky ‘bot, OPAL. Their lives are simple and they like it that way, even though they barely earn enough to pay for Laramie’s expensive, life-saving medications. Until the day they find something big floating in the wreckage of a battleship graveyard. Something so rare, so precious, it could change their lives forever.

Trading it would make them loved. Selling it would make them rich. But keeping it might make them heroes. They have a chance at a whole new world, if they’re brave enough to grasp it.

And if Mars doesn’t catch them first

Hi, I’m Nora, and I have a deadly talent: bringing people’s worst nightmares to life.
We’ve all got hobbies, mine just happens to be making dreams come true… in the most twisted way imaginable. I never meant to hurt anyone, but thanks to my curse, I turn wishes into nightmares that can kill. And lucky me, only a few more cursed wishes to go before it comes for me next.
Placing trust in a stranger isn’t my idea of fun, but Rafe Morgan is unexpectedly persistent. I didn’t invite him on my curse-breaking she-quest, yet here he is. Those delectable, secret-keeping lips might just be my undoing.
Going into this, I thought I knew the stakes. Boy was I wrong. Now, my heart and soul are both on the line while I’m scrambling to stay alive. Time is up and though I’ve searched my whole life for a way to end this horrid curse, I’ve found absolutely nothing.
Well, nothing… until today.
