Description
Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met. Lee is captain of the forces sent to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents. Rebellion is in Flynn's blood - his sister died in the original uprising against the powerful corporate conglomerate that rules Avon with an iron fist. These corporations make their fortune by terraforming uninhabitable planets across the universe and recruiting colonists to make them livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. But they never fulfilled this promise on Avon, decades later. Flynn is leading the rebellion, desperate for any advantage against the military occupying his home. When he and Lee cross paths, he returns to base with her as prisoner. However, when his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. He and Lee escape together, caught between two sides in a senseless war. This is the stunning second novel in the Starbound trilogy, an unforgettable story of love and forgiveness in a world torn apart by conflict.
