Shot in The Dark
Elia is a detective on a dying planet. She can feel it in her bones, the springs yielding fewer blooms and the temperature only getting warmer. She spends her days buried in bureaucracy and her nights under the cloud-covered stars, working as an elusive IX operative for WellCorp, the company responsible for the scorched countryside and toxic rivers. But Elia is hiding a dark secret, one she tries so desperately to forget.
Juniper is an outlaw from another world, a world flush with flora. Even though she barely escaped near death when fleeing from Xylia, her home planet, Juniper can’t help but miss the feeling of the flowers beneath her feet, of seas of trees stretching for miles on end. But every dream comes with a cost, and Juniper’s escape from her home world comes with an insurmountable one.
Everything changes when Elia is given a new mission: capture Juniper and bring her to the Xylian embassy - dead or alive.
Elia has never had to defy an order before.
But Elia never thought she'd fall in love.
