An unlikely pair. A deadly mystery. Would the protector of all living things lead humanity astray?

Baley keeps people safe for a living. As a secret agent in the First Circle, she does most of her work alone. But when The Machine, the guardian of all living beings, assigns her a new partner, she begrudgingly accepts. After all, humanity’s guardian couldn’t possibly be wrong…

Paul’s only passion is the ancient history of Earliest Space. But when a mysterious series of child suicides sends the City into a crippling fear, he must team up with the no-nonsense Baley to stop the alarming deaths. Little does he know that the force behind the suicides could have the power to shatter Space as they know it…

As they dig deeper into the investigation, Paul and Baley uncover a shadowy religion, a commune hellbent on escaping orbit, and the depths of the human soul. Can they piece together the solution together or will the balance of the multiverse be destroyed forever?
