They are the Orphans of the Citadel.

Maisy and her friends have been expelled from the Citadel, a corporate-owned station at the edge of known space. Now they're limping their way toward a newly discovered planet aboard the Oro Zapato, a "colony ship" that is nothing more than a badly damaged freighter held together with duct tape and good intentions.

But they aren't alone out here.

When the newly christened Golden Shoe encounters a derelict research vessel, it's an opportunity to salvage some much-needed supplies. However, Maisy soon discovers the ship isn't exactly abandoned.

Friend, foe...family?

Nothing is quite as it seems, and the crew of the Shoe once again find themselves at a crossroads. The path ahead is rough. Can they face it together?
