A teenager on the eve of humanity's great escape to the past — tangled up with a fugitive robot so dangerously human she can't decide whether to turn him in or trust him with her life.
Four years after Lysander Tan destroyed him with a single conversation, Arion Smith has rebuilt his life into something harder and leaner: security chief of Tetherend, a failing outer colony on the literal end of the corporate world.

What he doesn't want is Lysander Tan arriving as the colony's new governor with an apology and no explanation.
