At the age of 21, Jakind 2589/S5 loses everything.
When she walks into her sixteenth disciplinary hearing on Sat 5, she thinks it will be like all the others. The suits will talk at her, she'll pretend to listen, look ashamed, promise to do better. Then she'll leave. Until next time.
But there won't be a next time. The Governors of Satellite 5 declare her a non-person, without a home or a future, and only sixty days to find someplace that will take her. She has no credits, no skills. All she has is the one talent that she can't talk about.
At the last minute, Jake gets an offer to join a new Settlement if she agrees to be the personal sexer for the abusive narcissist leading the group. She knows it could be dangerous but her best friends are going and there'll be lots of other people. With no other option, she boards the ship.
It never reaches its destination.
The dangers Jake encounters as her path changes force her to prove, to herself and everyone around her, that she is valuable.
Because the one talent she has, the one she can't talk about, is the one thing that can save humanity.
