Summary
Cleons are historically emotionally dysfunctional. Whether it is in their genetics, their upbringing, or both.
Instead of thinking things through, they act rashly, reaping devastating consequences. Especially when they’re angry.
But one Cleon is different. Dawn XXV doesn’t rip out his earpiece in the airlock during this argument with Gaal.
And it changes everything.

Summary
“I could always jump, but I never do. I sometimes think it was him, the one that tried to run away with the gardener. That maybe I’m dreaming of him. That I’m him—but I’m not.” His eyes glaze over, the memory haunting him. “He jumped once, you know. It’s not public knowledge. Straight out of his window—to the ground. His aura saved him, but even with mine on . . . I don’t think I could do it.”
“That makes you different, though,” Gaal points out. She doesn’t have an answer for all the rest. It’s just a dream, after all. “If he could jump, but you can’t. So, what makes you like him?”
His answer is one word. He exhales it out in a single breath from between his lips like a prayer said before bedtime—before the darkness takes you, and you never know if you’re going to wake up again. His eyes never leave hers. Not once.
“You.”

Summary
Despite three long years of covert meetings in the shadows with Gaal Dornick, or perhaps even because of them, he had learned a few things along the way.
One. Never underestimate your enemy, even upon entering negotiations with them.
Two. Always have a backup plan outside of the original plan.
Three. Don’t fall in love with them. But no matter how hard he had tried to prepare himself, he was already gone.
.
Gaal finds herself caught in a predicament when she discovers Dawn is still alive, and his decanted clone is with her. Unable to sacrifice him twice, she rescues him—until they come across a signal in space, hailing them to approach a colony on Earth’s moon halfway across the galaxy. The answers that await them there spur more questions than either of them bargained for.

Summary
“Why don’t you come over here?” she finally suggests, her voice deeper, lower than usual; it sounds like she’s flirting with him, but sometimes Dawn can’t tell with her. He doesn’t want to press into the line of whatever this is, shattering the illusion he’s built in his head. He’s imagined her face a million times before going to bed; sometimes, laughing, other times, gasping, with her mouth wide open and the shadows abound all around them as she shudders out a moan. He thinks about her all the time. He thinks about her too much.
Dawn looks down at his glass of liquor. Swirls it between the crystalline walls—and downs the entire thing in one gulp. It burns going down.
Strength. Wisdom. Fortitude.
This is neither of those things.

Summary
Luck. They all wished it, but Gaal didn’t come here on luck. She came here on math—and the math was never wrong.
