Murdered by the First Families’ war leader, Camille has finally shown her true nature: she is the Midnight-Child, the envoy of Evil! Her friends, however, don’t know it yet, as they’ve all been scattered by accident or treachery. Leila, imprisoned by Neosalem’s authorities. Dodzi, captured by their enemies of the Last Families.

The third arc in the eight-part space opera introduces Marshal Emma O'Mara, an independent peace officer who also dedicates her life to the teachings of the Tholmanist space-church. When the Infinity 8 cruise ship is stopped by the mysterious floating barricade of debris, she sees an opportunity to retrieve a fabled, sacred artifact and uses her network of contacts in the criminal mercenary underworld to negotiate a plan to find it. But when you gather mercenaries with different agendas, things rarely go your way . . . there is no honor among thieves. Mix in a deadly bodyguard robot locked on its last set of unclear commands and the stakes reach a real life-or-death level . . . Written by series co-creator Lewis Trondheim and award-winning writer Fabian Vehlmann (Beautiful Darkness, Last Days of an Immortal), and illustrated by celebrated artist Olivier Balez, this sci-fi treasure hunt pits antihero vs antihero vs logic-driven robot in a caper that could unveil a secret so big, the universe itself could teeter on the brink of chaos!
