The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the
Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for
life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid.
Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen,
inmate Dresdemona “Dred†Devos controls one of
Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by
would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at
bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx
of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a
constant battle, and death is the only escape.
Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dred’s
attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and
attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His
combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he
doesn't betray her first. Unfortunately, that's what he
does best. Winning Jael’s allegiance will be a challenge,
but failure could be worse than death…
