About this book
The station survived book one. Now it has working systems, a crew, and a problem salvage can't fix: a live war-forge is exactly what empires draft paperwork to seize. The Relay Hegemony wants to file its claim.
The Black Cradle brings ownership fights: law weaponized, crew oaths tested, and Burghald's people racing to hold the station before someone with a bigger fleet and sharper lawyers takes it.
