Fleet Captain Chasidah Bergren was court martialed and condemned for disobeying an order that she never received. She didnt get the light sentence, death, no she was sent to the penal planet of Moabar, which was generally thought to make Hell look like a vacation spot.

Gabriel Ross Sullivan is a notorious smuggler mercenary, and poet, who Chas has spent years trying to catch. But that was before he died about two years ago, so Chas is a bit surprised when he shows up on Moabar and offers her a chance to escape.

Someone in the Empire, someone very powerful, is doing monstrous things and Sully needs Chass help to stop them. Chas is more than willing to escape and do something useful and important. It means risking her life, but she is used to that. The danger she really fears is Gabriel Sullivan and the way he makes her feel.
