      A revolutionary and her sworn enemy crash-land on a dying planet and must survive long enough to uncover a deadly, galaxy-spanning conspiracy in the first book of a thrilling new space opera trilogy from the author of the Philip K. Dick-nominated Velocity Weapon

      When a spy and her mortal enemy crash-land on a dying planet, she must figure out how to survive long enough to uncover the deadly, galaxy-spanning conspiracy that landed them there. The Blighted Stars is the first book in an epic new space-opera trilogy from the author of the Philip K. Dick-nominated Velocity Weapon.

      She''s a revolutionary. Humanity is running out of options. Habitable planets are being destroyed as quickly as they''re found, and Naira Sharp thinks she knows the reason why. The all-powerful Mercator family has been controlling the exploration of the universe for decades, and exploiting any materials they find along the way under the guise of helping humanity''s expansion. But Naira knows the truth, and she plans to bring the whole family down from the inside.

      He''s the heir to the dynasty. Tarquin Mercator never wanted to run a galaxy-spanning business empire. He just wanted to study geology and read books. But Tarquin''s father has tasked him with monitoring the settlement of a new planet, and he doesn''t really have a choice in the matter.

      Disguised as Tarquin''s new bodyguard, Naira plans to destroy the settlement ship before they land. But neither of them expects to end up stranded on a dead planet. To survive and keep her secret, Naira will have to join forces with the man she''s sworn to hate. And together they will uncover a plot that''s bigger than both of them.

      ''Character-driven science fiction at its best - a taut novel with human questions at its heart''
      E. J. Beaton, author of The Councillor

      ''Smart, incisive and utterly gripping. Megan E. O''Keefe''s masterful storytelling will draw you into a complex, brutal, yet hope-charged world, break your heart, and leave you begging for more''
      Rowenna Miller, author of Torn

      ''A delightfully twisty space opera filled with unique worldbuilding and deft explorations of humanity, family and power. Add in a dash of rebellion and a hint of romance, and I''m hooked - I can''t wait for the next book!''
      Jessie Mihalik, author of Hunt the Stars

      ''This is space opera for the ages, wrapped in complicated and delicious layers of family and loyalty and science and love and duty. I couldn''t put it down!
      Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory
