Zoey has avoided the powerful magnates in the Cardinal family for decades. Her life as a Private Investigator has no contact with theirs, and the formidable Cardinals turned their backs on her long ago. But you don't walk away from a legacy that easily. Zoey's late Great Aunt Katherine, the woman responsible for giving Zoey her beloved C001-Oisín, Ocean, and influential C.E.O. of Cardinal Machines, also decided that Zoey would attend Cardinal Summit. And Zoey knows she has to go, too. The changes ushered in by Zoey's powerful uncle aren't all good, not for Zoey, and not for androids.
Zoey soon finds herself on Cardinal turf at Soliel moon-base, where everything is foreign, and her late mother's family is ruled by secrets. Half-truths and intrigues lurk behind every gesture. Pulled into the orbit of her celebrated family, but isolated and starved for information, Zoey must punch above her weight, and not just for Ocean's fate either. For the safety of Cardinal Machines, everywhere.
