When the demise of an important underground crime lord leaves a power vacuum in the Governance's smuggling world, Nia is sent to smooth things over. A task that should be trivial with her skill-set.

All that stands in her way is an ambitious lieutenant with an arrogant streak, a seductive mentalist businesswoman playing both sides, and an unpredictable fireborn fighting her way out of a set-up.

Politics and business clash while the clock is ticking on a brewing elemental rebellion.
