It’s Renna’s biggest job yet — convincing MYTH leadership that she’s put away her lock picks and is ready to save the galaxy, despite the dangerous implant in her brain. But with the Athena on the run, she’s working solo and facing her most ruthless enemy, the traitor Pallas, who’ll go to any lengths to destroy the MYTH organization. Including framing Renna for a devastating assault on MYTH HQ that leaves their defenses crippled and hundreds dead.
Now that MYTH believes she’s a dangerous double-agent, Renna escapes their firing squad before they put more holes in her than a pair of fishnet stockings. But the ticking time-bomb in her head is the one thing Pallas needs to complete his master plan and he’s not about to let her get away. Even worse, he’s discovered the only thing that will bring Renna to her knees — threatening Captain Nick Finn.
Out of time and options, Renna’s got one shot to take down the traitor before he annihilates everything she loves, even though winning this battle may cost her everything.
A new book finds galactic thief Renna Carrizal continuing her adventure. She's a 25-year-old human woman who got involved in a mission to save the galaxy. One of the top leaders of MYTH, a covert intelligence agency, persuaded Renna to lend her skills for a special mission. This unexpectedly reunited her with someone she believed dead, a guy now known as Captain Finn. The latter deeply distrusted Renna at first due to her reputation. They slowly ended up falling for each other. It seems opposites do attract, eh? Renna may not be one of the bad guys, but she still ran with shady people. And Captain Finn became as righteous as the likes of Steve Rogers.
Together, Renna and Finn managed to uncover a conspiracy threatening not just MYTH, but the whole galaxy. Now, Athena's Ashes begins with Renna fighting a new battle. During her confrontation with a mad scientist, he injected her with an experimental formula. The compound will integrate Renna's high-tech brain implant with her nervous system, turning her into a part-cyborg. That is, if she survives the process. Renna thought her best chance was to return to MYTH. She uses her need for medical help to get inside and unmask the identity of a traitor. All that Renna knows about him is his codename, Pallas. This guy is the book's main antagonist. His goal appears to be to create an army of cyborgs to take over the galaxy.
