โฆ Synopsis
Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich.
Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanitys first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt shes owed for a long time.
So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz cant say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosionsnot to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect cant handle, and she figures shes got the swagger part down.
The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazzs problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.
Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit shes in way over her head. Shell have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city.
Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal.
Thatll have to do.
