Betrayal

Mia Mercedes never planned to follow her father into the stars, but something far more dangerous is stirring closer than the void.
At the Atlanta Interstellar Academy, the Nebula Mission is everything: a lethal off-world competition no student can refuse, and almost no one survives. Last year, Mia's closest friend, James Valentine, returned from it hollow-eyed and haunted; one of only three who made it back. No one will say what happened. No one will tell her why.
Dean Dominic Sterling, her father's brilliant, ruthless best friend, offers Mia a place in the upcoming Mission. Says he trusts her. Says humanity needs her. Says she is the one who can make a difference.
But Mia's instincts scream otherwise.
James is unraveling. The academy is fracturing. And Dominic's interest in her feels less like opportunity... and more like a warning.
Mia has always needed answers, even when they cost her. But risking her life?
Never. Not when she still has Quinn, Ranae, and James to protect; and not when she suspects the truth might kill her faster than any alien world.
If she accepts, she may never come back.
If she refuses, she may never uncover why the Nebula Mission destroys everyone who enters it.
Either way, something is coming and Mia is running out of time to choose.
