If the horror planet they're trapped on doesn't kill them first, their sibling rivalry just might . . .
For siblings Dash and Shea, stealing and selling rare artifacts across the galaxy is the family business. Meticulous planner Shea yearns to make her father proud, while chaos comedian Dash secretly wishes to be a normal teen.
When Dash fails to return from a classified heist on a planet in the Realm of Shadows, his negligence falls on Shea, and it's up to her to rescue him. Again. Locating her brother is tricky enough, but upon her arrival she discovers that not only has Dash lost the portal key that was meant to deliver them home, the vile creature he was sent to steal has latched onto him and now feeds on his soul.
To save her brother, Shea must enlist the help of a runaway spellcaster to find the cure. Nobody else can guide them across a treacherous terrain filled with viscera-laden rivers and forests lurking with carnivorous predators.
Relying on someone else means being vulnerable for the first time. And as Shea's confidence in herself and her tolerance for her brother's mistakes starts to waver, she must decide what's more important-being the perfectly-polished leader her father raised her to be, or letting her guard down to save her siblingship and her little brother's soul.
