    Summary

    On the long-forgotten world of Urvash, Kleya Marki hunts for a lost superweapon. An Imperial genius and his aide seek a piece of forgotten art. To win this deadly game and turn the tide for the fledgling Rebellion, Kleya must not only find the prize, but learn to master the art of her opponent.

    She stepped closer, already composing the report she’d send to Luthen. The Astrolabe was real, and she would bet her last ration pack it was here. She’d prove her worth, put the last mission’s errors behind her.

    A faint sound, from behind.

    Kleya froze. That wasn't a rock settling.

    She thumbed the memory globe, just in case, but did not turn around. Not yet.

    “Hands up where we can see them,” called a voice. Male, Outer Rim accent of some voice. “Nice and slow.” The voice echoed in the chamber, making it hard for her to tell how far away he was. She mentally tallied her weapons: a vibro-shiv strapped to her thigh, a blaster at her hip, her tiny holdout hidden in a shoulder holster under her jacket, and her last-resort knife in her boot. All of them utterly useless with a range sight on her back.

    Summary

    A data heist at Obroa-skai pulls Kleya Marki out of a decade of safe work and back into the field. The signature is Ysanne Isard's. But the deeper she digs, the more she finds: old networks, new conspiracies, and the one ghost she thought she'd made peace with losing.

    A canon-compliant reworking of the Thrawn: Legends timeline with Andor sensibilities...and space battles.

    And in her head, the pieces clicked together.

    "Tactical," Kleya heard herself say. Her voice sounded distant, strange. "The third Star Destroyer. The new one. Can you put it up on the screen for visual identification?"

    "Trying to get a clean read now. There's a lot of interference from the battle, but—" The officer adjusted his controls. "Got it. Magnifying."

    The image on the main viewscreen shifted, zooming past the chaos of burning ships and scattered fighters to focus on the new Star Destroyer's hull. Gray durasteel, standard Imperial configuration. But across the ventral surface, in stylized black lines, was a marking no standard ship carried. A seven-headed serpent, coiled and waiting.

    Rist inhaled sharply. "The Chimaera." He shook his head. “Impossible.”

    Kleya’s mouth went dry.
