Nine years after the Severance War ended with the Concord of Vesper, an Imperial frigate goes silent at the edge of a rogue outpost. Lieutenant Dara Voss stands the plot on the dreadnought Cinder Crown as Admiral Ilse Brannock, the Hammer of Vesper, takes the Ninth Fleet out past the gravity well to find it. What waits at Halden Station is a drive that should not exist, a Commodore's lie, a crewman's last coin, and Dara's own brother, serving on the other side.
