INDIRA BEREN is something of a hopeless case. A once promising girl turned bitter waste of talent in the eyes of most who see her, she spends her days in the shadows, hiding away from the rest of the world. Her only company is a bottle of whiskey, something to tinker with, the accursed glowing blue crystal that hangs around her neck, and her trusty droid companion EV-1. She has no plans for the future; nothing but drinking and tinkering until her liver or lungs give out — at least, that's what she thinks, until a venerated veteran general knocks on her door with the call of her heart's desire: justice and divine vengeance and a place in the Resistance against the First Order — the very same monsters who killed her mother. With nothing left to lose, Indira throws caution to the wind for the first time in her life and joins the Resistance's ranks. Every action, she knows, has its equal, opposite reaction, and this time she is ready to set her own chain reaction off.
