Rule number 1: Whatever you do, don't open the box.

Well, that’s rule number two actually. Rule number one is don’t take salvage jobs from people who’ve tried to sell you to an Antillian bug salesman.

Neara “Tink” Bell is used to a life of odd jobs and even odder crewmates, working as the engineer and all-around fixer on the cargo ship Lyra. But when the ship picks up two new crew members and a salvage job on a third-rate space station, things go sideways in a cosmic way.

Can Tink keep the Lyra running despite unexplained accidents? Most importantly, can they keep their curiosity in check and not look in the box?

Rule number 27: Don’t trust the weird Sisters.

Or maybe it’s don’t steal from gangsters. Either way...words to live by.

The Lyra is safe. But the Sisters of Elazir dropped them into the Green Zone.

Rebeka Mino isn’t happy to be in a region of in the Green Zone ruled by gangsters and reprobates. Then things go from bad to worse: her ex shows up with a treasure map to a fabled ship.

When the gangsters start shooting, their only escape might be to find a lost ship in a dark grave. Can Rebeka’s ex survive their reunion? Can they uncover the mystery ship and its treasure? Most importantly, can they get out with their lives?

Rule 68: Don’t accept a jewelled egg from a Rhombian.

Certainly not when you’re already trying to hock illicit goods.

Having found the last lost treasure ship ... only to have it stolen by a gangster, the crew of the cargo ship Lyra just wants to get back to hauling bugs for unscrupulous harvesters so they can earn enough for food and fuel.

Unfortunately, the crew is missing one of its members, stolen along with the treasure.

Can they rescue Ish from the gangster’s clutches? Can they survive the sands of Thraxa? And, most importantly, can they deal with an angry Grim?
