Summary
Odette Wallace volunteers for a posting no one else wants: a seat in a Turian strike squad that didn’t ask for a human, doesn’t trust her, and has every reason to assume she’ll wash out. On a base built for sharp angles and sharper tradition, she learns fast that bravery isn’t the hard part. Enduring the quiet, the stares, the rules she can’t bend, and the certainty that she’s alone is.
But missions don’t care about prejudice. Week by week, shot by shot, Odette earns something rarer than politeness: respect. As the squad’s scepticism cracks into grudging reliance, their leader Varin fights his own war between discipline and attachment because the more Odette proves she belongs, the more dangerous it becomes to want her close. In a world where a single misstep can be political, personal, or lethal, trust has to be built the slow way… and love, if it comes at all, will have to survive the same fire that forged them into a unit.
