Kaz lies on the ground, other children standing over her, looks of victorious glee on their faces. They pin her down. They reach out. They hurt her simply because they can.
All her life, Kaz has dreamed of leaving Ransome's Quarry and finding freedom among the stars. She studies for hours, hoping to pass the tests. But when the time comes, what she must pass is nothing like the tests she prepared for.
Too young to understand the cost, too blind to see the future, she alone accepts the terrible reality of the Tradition of Proving. She alone can pass the tests.
But can she survive everything coming as she realizes that the children at home were nothing compared to the hate of the Children of Haze?
More from the Kazsian Corlain series: Earth has been destroyed. Over 500 years, the remnants of humanity have spread across the stars with other alien races, displaced by the devastating Devourers of Worlds. Entrenched in a centuries' long war, humanity fights to survive in this harsh universe.
But expansion through the cosmos has bred more than just battles and wars. Opportunity opens for any ambitious enough to take it. And for the child of a human colony, there is more to dream about than simply wasting away on an asteroid. Her name is Kazsian, and this is her story.
Embark on adventure after adventure as Kazsian sails across the universe, finding her place among the stars, fighting for her survival, and learning about the mysteries hidden behind each broken planet. From warrior to pirate, Kazsian will soon find that she has a much bigger part to play in a battle between more than just the humans and Bulundayr Empire. It is a battle for the soul of all existence and Kazsian Corlain holds the key.
