Adult • Science Fiction • Fantasy • Short Stories
Jasmine seeks a life beyond debt Conspiracy threatens Artemis' control A heist leads to unforeseen dangers Set in humanity's first lunar colony Wealth drives moral dilemmas

Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems—because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
