Synopsis

Sartha Thrace, ace mech pilot, is always so confused. She's a rebel, so why is she fighting on the wrong side? She's a free woman, so why is she wearing a muzzle? She's a hero, so why do her comrades treat her like a rabid dog? Sartha Thrace is so fortunate that her beloved Handler is always there to help her understand. Once a hero to the rebellion, Sartha Thrace has been captured, brainwashed, and turned by the Empire she once fought against. During her captivity—and subsequent rescue—three other pilots find themselves transfixed by what has been done to her. Sergeant Kotys, an Imperial pilot bent on revenge and power. Leinth Aritimis, a young rebel who worships Sartha. And Kione Monax, a mercenary ace who shares with Sartha a strange, confused bond. Each wants something from whatever remains of Sartha Thrace, but as they peer into the abyss within her, they soon find their own reflections staring back. And what of the sinister woman in black leather who holds Sartha’s leash?
