A scientist’s research draws the attention of an empire’s rebels

Morgan Enni is a science prodigy in a university of mage-scientists, but she has no magical ability—and little support for research that could threaten aetherworkers across the galaxy. When her work attracts rebels hoping to challenge the Stavenger Empire, the story brings scientific ambition into contact with political upheaval. The publisher describes a space-opera setting shaped by Arthurian myth and the history of North Atlantic fisheries, giving the conflict a blend of speculative science, legend, and maritime history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult readers interested in space opera and science fiction.
  • Readers curious about stories that combine Arthurian myth with North Atlantic fisheries history.
  • Readers interested in ambitious young scientists and rebellion against an empire.

Book overview

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka comes a fast-paced queer space opera that combines Arthurian myth and the history of North Atlantic fisheries to create a one-of-a-kind world.

"Full of heart and hope, this book invites you to join a found family you'll never want to leave."--Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of Aurora Rising

"This short space opera covers a surprising amount of lore and worldbuilding in a queer-normative society accepting of Morgan's asexual identity."--BCCB

Morgan Enni has things to do. A science prodigy in a university full of mage-scientists, she's notable for having no magical ability, which only increases her ambition and drive to prove herself. Her research has the potential to devastate every aetherworker in the galaxy and shake the crumbled foundations of the Stavenger Empire. It's no wonder she can't find anyone who wants to listen to her, much less fund her expedition.

But Morgan is stubborn, and eventually her work catches the attention of a group of rebels, who hope it might turn the tide in their favor. When they try to recruit the young scientist, they get much more than they bargained for. Morgan Enni has secrets of her own.
