Her home is a floundering spaceship that offers few prospects having been orbiting an ice-encased Earth for two hundred years. When a private ship hires her as a governess Stella jumps at the chance. The captain of the Rochester nineteen-year-old Hugo Fairfax is notorious throughout the fleet for being a moody recluse and a drunk. But with Stella hes kind. But the Rochester harbors secrets: Stella is certain someone is trying to kill Hugo and the more she discovers the more questions she has about his role in a conspiracy threatening the fleet.
