Description

This sequel to The Pioneer is perfect for fans of the Illuminae Series and Skyward!

Earth is uninhabitable. Tau is our home now.

With that terrifying message, Jo and her family learned the truth: They are trapped forever on Tau Ceti e.

But the planet’s current occupants—the Sorrow—are not interested in sharing. The fragile peace Jo negotiated abruptly shatters, and soon a bloody battle is raging between the Sorrow and the Pioneers. As tensions rise, the survival of everyone Jo cares for seems less likely by the second.

When a betrayal that shocks Jo to her core threatens to wipe out both Sorrow and human life, Jo must find the strength to speak up once more—and bridge the gaps between all the warring factions—or lose forever the only home left to her.


  • First Contact Gone Wrong: The native Sorrow aren’t interested in sharing their planet with human refugees. The fragile peace Jo brokered has shattered, and now a bloody battle rages.
  • A Shocking Betrayal: Just when things can’t get worse, a traitor from within threatens to wipe out both human and Sorrow life for good.
  • High-Stakes Space Opera: With Earth destroyed and humanity trapped on an alien world, every decision could be their last.
  • A Traumatized Hero: Still reeling from a past tragedy in space, Jo must overcome her own fears to bridge the gap between warring factions.
