A signal. A secret. A death sentence. Far above a broken Earth, the rules of survival are written in steel and silence. Deals are made in the dark. Loyalties shift. Sides change. And the smallest piece of stolen knowledge can tilt the balance. Then the ground arrives-cold, empty, and watching. In both worlds, information is currency-and the wrong kind of knowledge comes with a price. The Defector is a parallel story to The Ruinhawk (book 1).
It opens on a different thread of the same unfolding chain of events-and converges at the end. A second set of decisions. A second path into the wilderness. A deeper look at what's really moving behind the scenes.
