Researcher Wynn Lambdin is one of the few scientists privileged to still live on its surface. As a superstorm brews on the horizon, a stranger approaches her solitary outpost. Alarmingly, this trespasser walks the surface without a UV suit. That recklessness is certain to cause a slow and painful death-or at least it \u003cem\u003eshould\u003c\/em\u003e. Instead, by morning the stranger has healed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe's a Calypson, one of the mysterious residents of Sector Ten, known for twisting humans into husks of their former selves-a fate that horrifies Wynn and the rest of the system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith all communication cut off due the storm, Wynn must protect herself against its deadly danger and the man who has taken refuge in her outpost. He turns out to be nothing like she would expect: a curious soul with a penchant for the literal. Inexplicably drawn to him, she declares a truce to wait out the storm despite his insistence he has come to \"collect\" her. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir tentative peace is shattered when the eye of the storm brings a CORE Agent to her doorstep. Wynn becomes a target, trapped in the middle of a war and two opposing forces. With no way to know who to trust, unravelling the secrets of her past will force her to navigate a dangerous game of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
