The SS Scavenger was only supposed to haul grain and fruit to a distant colony. Instead, Captain Elan Drex and his crew stumble into a nightmare the Alliance never wanted to believe was possible: a flying "school ship" where native children have been stolen, beaten, and stripped of their identities. Among the survivors is Kasenna Vox, a brave girl who refuses to go back. Her scars run deep-but so does her voice. As Scavenger takes her home, the crew discovers the shadow of Earth's own past repeating itself among the stars. What begins as a rescue turns into a mission of justice. Drex and his crew must confront pirates, smugglers, and a conspiracy that preys on the most vulnerable. Along the way, bonds of family are reforged: Velka and Drex unite in marriage, Kasenna finds a home as their daughter, and the crew swear a vow that echoes from Earth's history: Never again forgotten. Never again taken. Scavenger must now carry that vow across the Protectorate worlds-because some shadows aren't finished yet, and the children who remain lost are still waiting in the dark.
