Anwyn's family has always assumed that she'd follow in the footsteps of her illustrious mother and uncle as a diplomat and eventual head of state. But Anwyn is an impulsive rule-breaker, and she's made other plans: getting off her home planet and seeing the galaxy after training as a starship pilot.

Anwyn Owens, a starship pilot for the Malcolm Star Circus, seeks a new venue for their performances. The massive space station carved out of an asteroid seems like the perfect opportunity. Her politically prominent uncle entrusts her with a message for the station's owner, while a team of operatives she's encountered before has their own agenda. Anwyn must navigate these challenges while considering her future and a second chance to join the team.

With the old circus manager safely in jail, things should be going well at the circus where Anwyn Owens is assistant pilot. But when the aging starship that serves as their home breaks down, all the ingenuity of Anwyn and head pilot Jemal can't get things working again. The solution: head for the pirate planet of Open Port where Jemal knows of a salvage yard that just might have the necessary used part for sale.

Anwyn Owens won her place at a prestigious starship pilot's program on Earth and graduated with honors. But nothing could have prepared her when she followed the advice of her uncle's old friend and took a job as assistant pilot for an intergalactic circus.

When the sleepers wake as they approach the planet, the hyper-speed crew have been living there for 300 years already - and they have no clue the ‘sleepers’ are about to arrive.
