We’ve always heard that Earth was uninhabitable. It was the greatest lie ever told. Abigail Sharon. Shield Maiden. Right hand woman of Matthew Cole, Captain of the Sparrow. Paraplegic. Exile. After a run in with bounty hunters on Titan, her wondrous suit of powered armor has been damaged beyond the ability of anyone in the colonies to repair. Without it, the career of the Shield Maiden is over. But Matthew is the observant type, and over the years, he’s begun to put the pieces of Abigail’s past together. He knows where she came from. The place where we all came from. He’s willing to take her back to get the repairs she needs. But going back means that Abigail must face the past. She’ll have to face the woman staring back at her from the mirror, the woman confined to a wheelchair, and know at last who she is. Because the universe isn’t about to give either of them any breaks, and even on the forbidden planet, they’ll have more than their fair share of enemies.
