Ava Longwood has always yearned for adventure, so when she's offered the chance to join a team of spacefaring pioneers on a mission to colonise a distant world, she eagerly accepts. But her true purpose is far more personal - to track down her father, who was last seen on a mission to this same planet seven years ago. At first, Ava is thrilled, but elation soon turns to horror when she realises there is more to this world than meets the eye.

As Ava and the rest of the crew delve deeper into the secrets of the planet, they discover that it holds the secrets to a powerful ancient artifact, one that could alter the balance of power in the entire galaxy. However, they are not the only ones searching for it, and soon find themselves in a deadly race against rival factions who will stop at nothing to secure the artifact for themselves.

When danger mounts, Ava must use her cunning, skills, and newfound allies to survive.
