And Reclaim Her Own - Codex of the Cosmari, #3

A year has passed since the destruction of Szobe Skum and Meritopolis. The people of Shoar who have survived the heavy-handed regime of the now defunct X-TRACT Unlimited, face the arduous task of rebuilding a world ravaged by totalitarian corporate excess. Violet Lehr, a courier between the unions that facilitated their emancipation from X-TRACT, struggles to find some manner of relief for the remaining population as conditions grow steadily worse. Aside from rapidly inhospitable weather, lack of resources, and constant raids from X-TRACT remnants, more malevolent forces are at work as malevolent forces in the shadows antagonizes both factions as they struggle to survive. Even with the introduction of visitors from beyond the edges of Known Space, the benevolence of the Cosmari Matriarch, Oshia Emerges From The Whorl, and the return of Violet's estranged wife, Jordan Blue, time is against her as perseverance becomes more difficult to maintain.
