Logline: A hunted starship captain, her ragtag crew, and the last known AI construct in a universe stripped of digital technology are relentlessly pursued by a shadowy new threat.

Elevator Pitch: Commander Sierra D’Arjet has been haunted by betrayal ever since she was separated from her parents at a planetary border crossing as a child. Now, after a devastating mutiny, she must learn to trust Jackal—an ancient AI construct struggling to maintain control after centuries in stasis. Together with a brilliant but foul-mouthed feline engineer and the heiress to the system’s largest shipping fortune, they embark on a perilous flight toward freedom. Chased by corrupt Republic officials, a deadly construct-hunter from the core worlds, and a hostile AI assault carrier, their escape seems impossible—until a mysterious cruiser offers Sierra a hope she never expected.
