In the District, trading is life, traders are kin, and thieving’s just one more way to keep up with demand.
Marleeta O’rkan hawks wares to tourists by day and restocks directly from cargo she 'finds' on the spaceport docks. But her latest score belongs to a laser-happy group of Atraland mercenaries...and her best day of resales winds up her worst nightmare.
With some of the cargo sold to off-worlders and mercs tearing the streets apart to find it, Marleeta will need to do more than hand-deliver what’s left: she’ll need to force a few unwilling returns before Atraland takes what’s owed from the lives of her community.
