After they cleared the dead, the Lunar Colony reopened as a technology hub to mine asteroids for materials to turn into starships. Calliope Morrigan arrived on the moon, completing designs for a ship. The military hated her small ship and backed Mattias, an engineer promising a ship so large it would require fusion reactors, a technology still beyond their reach. Arn Lasserman, head of nuclear engineering, allied with Calliope to create a stronger ship with engines he designed, cementing the enmity of her rivals. The violence against Calliope escalates as her ship nears completion. Rivals for control of resources, cluster time, and engines escalate as satellites range farther out into the solar system for metals to build their ships.

Calliope must find ways to make crucial alliances to survive. She pushes technology to its limits, but can she propel her humanity forward in time to fight the aliens?

The twins are traveling with Pa Charlie’s carnival just like always, but there’s a new distance between them. Tempest is so caught up in her own ideas, she doesn’t seem to have space left in her life for Tally. And, more than that, Tally’s started to notice there’s something between them. Something real, growing with the phases of the moon, pushing them apart. Sparking, sputtering, wild. Dangerous. With the full moon approaching, Tally knows it’s up to her to find out what’s going on—and to beat it. If she can’t, she might just lose her sister. Forever. For fans of Savvy and A Snicker of Magic, this is a spellbinding story of friendship and family—a poignant ode to both what’s worth holding on to and what we have to let go.
