Farley Cinderfall is a genetic chimera, a technomancer, and one of the few people in the galaxy to have stolen from an archfiend and survived. When an ordinary firefight goes wrong and a gangster's spell flings her across the stars and into the depths of a hellworld, Farley will have to use every trick at her disposal to get back to her ship and get revenge on the mob boss who ordered the hit.

Meanwhile, Farley's crew takes on a dangerous job without their ace in the hole. Forced to partner with a technomancer they've never worked with before and going up against a rising insterstellar corporation, the band of misfits that call the Ashskimmer their home will face deadly challenges in pursuit of their biggest payday yet.
