A time-stealing pirate. A cursed queen. A galaxy on the edge of war.

Gideon Highwire and Millicent Gearwright have one chance to stop the Crocodile Cult before the Mindshredders seize control of the Clockwork Constellation itself.

Trapped between ruthless space empires and ancient forces beyond comprehension, Millicent Gearwight, Gideon Highwire and the crew must navigate treacherous alliances and forbidden technology before their past consumes them.

Barnaby Blackwater was once their ally. Now, under the grip of an ancient relic, he commands the dreaded Revenant Tempest, leading the Crocodile Cult to war. Their only hope? A shattered queen, a forgotten civilization, and a desperate mission that could reshape the balance of power forever.

Will they break the cycle of war, or will the stars burn under Blackwater's rule?

Perfect for fans of Firefly, The Expanse, and Gideon the Ninth-a thrilling blend of space piracy, mind warfare, and galactic intrigue.
