Aboard a damaged Ultra lighthugger, a captain who trusts no one takes in a stray: a young Conjoiner woman named Weather, rescued from a wrecked ship and treated as a threat from the moment she comes aboard. When the ship's own systems start failing under pursuit, it is Weather's uncanny connection to Conjoiner technology that the crew needs most, whether they trust her or not.
