On Mars, survival is measured in breaths.

Officer Rosario Vera only wanted real police work—not babysitting duty or guarding ceremonial cargo. But when a raid on suspected oxygen thieves turns violent, she’s forced to choose between the law she swore to uphold and the justice her conscience demands.

Caught in the same chaos is Liam, a stubborn Earther technician hiding secrets of his own—and protecting a group of desperate children who’ve slipped through the cracks of Martian law.

When bullets fly and loyalties fracture, Rosario and Liam must decide if they’ll stand on opposite sides of the law… or risk everything for a fragile second chance at hope.
