A thrilling standalone adventure that James S.A. Corey fans will relish Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A search for a missing person uncovers a galaxy-spanning conspiracy in this thrilling standalone space opera from award-winning author Megan E. O'Keefe.

The Two Lies of Faven Sythe takes readers on the tale of the Black Celeste, a ghost story, and a once-legendary spaceship collecting dust in a cosmic graveyard known as the Clutch. Only famed pirate Bitter Amandine knows the truth, and she'll do anything to never go near it again, no matter the cost.

Faven Sythe is crystborn, a member of the near-human species tasked with charting starpaths from station to station. Trained as a navigator her entire life, her mentor's disappearance leaves behind a mysterious starpath terminating in the Clutch. Determined to find the truth, she seeks answers from Amandine.

What they discover is a conspiracy bigger than either of them. Their quest for truth will uncover secrets Amandine has long fought to keep buriedβ€”secrets about how she survived her last encounter in the Clutch, and what's really hidden out there amongst the stars.

A swashbuckling sapphic adventure full of shifting loyalties and cosmic upheaval. Be warned: this imaginative fusion of space opera and pirate adventure will take your sleep schedule hostage.

J. S. Dewes, author of The Last Watch
