Summary

It's been over 1000 years since humanity has started to colonize the stars. Korla has a debt to pay. One she's been accumulating since she was 4 years old and became a ward of the state. To pay this debt she is assigned to high risk missions to survey planets for colonization. On her second mission she wakes to find that she's the only one that survived the mission, and must do what she can to survive alone. But she soon discovers that she is not alone, and that this planet was accidentally colonized nearly a century ago. But she has a deadline to decide whether to pay back her debt or follow her heart. Are the men she meets along the way worth the risk?
