A search for a missing person uncovers a galaxy-spanning conspiracy...

The Black Celeste is a ghost story. A once-legendary spaceship collecting dust in a cosmic graveyard known as the Clutch. Only famed pirate Bitter Amandine knows better, and she'll do anything to never go near it again. No matter the cost.

Faven Sythe is crystborn, a member of the near-human species tasked with charting starpaths from station to station. She's trained to be a navigator her entire life. But when her mentor disappears, leaving behind a mysterious starpath terminating in the Clutch, she is determined to find the truth. And only Amandine has the answers.

What they will find is a conspiracy bigger than either of them. Their quest for the truth will uncover secrets Amandine has long fought to keep buried - secrets about how she survived her last encounter in the Clutch, and what's really hidden out there …

An enjoyable space opera

An enjoyable space opera: the characters aren't too cliche (but well, dyke pirates are always a bit cliche)(which is fine, really), the world-building is pretty coherent and original, the dose of humour is just right and more importantly, the writing is really fine. I got a bit lost at the very end when a lot is revealed but it doesn't make it less enjoyable. I also appreciated that it wasn't the beginning of some intricate quadrilogy—it's pretty much a standalone pirate heist.
