In the Aether Reach, rare Guides tame Sentinels before corruption drives them mad. Lyra Quinn has nine matches and zero patience for their games. A fox-heir fakes poverty, a lion rejects the woman who saved him, and a dragon commander pays millions for her touch. As identities unravel and rivalries explode, Lyra discovers her priceless frequency may connect them—and make her the richest woman in the galaxy or its most wanted prize.
