Coming to Haven colony should have marked the start of her new life, but the past isn't done with her, yet. River had negotiated the agreement that brought the survivors of Reamus Station to Haven. Back then, she'd dreamed it would be a sanctuary for her cyborg brethren, somewhere out of reach from those who had created and tormented them. She'd been wrong. Now her home, her friends, and the future she worked so hard for are all in danger. because of her. He'd vowed to protect every cyborg in Haven. but he'd take on the galaxy to keep her safe.

Edge doesn't have any illusions about who or what he is-a weapon forged in the heat of battle and quenched in the blood of his kills. As happy as he is for the rest of his brethren to settle into new lives, he can't see himself doing the same. It's enough for him to watch over them from a distance, especially when it comes to River. She's beautiful, frustratingly stubborn, and far too good for him. When an old enemy threatens their new home, these broken souls will have to decide which rules are worth breaking, and which chances are worth taking.
