Description
Survivor. Outcast. Fugitive. Astera Lyell barely escaped Order 66 with her life. Now she's on the run, looking desperately for someplace to lay low, away from the Empire and the clones they used to murder her people. If only it were that easy. When the Bad Batch shows up on Ord Mantell looking for work, Astera is forced to work with the clones she has learned to distrust and despise, hoping they will not recognise her and carry out the order their brothers had without hesitation. But with them comes its own set of problems, from bounty hunters after the child they had brought with them to the Empire, hunted by one they once called brother. As she is drawn back further into the world she had tried so hard to leave behind, Astera finds it harder and harder to cling to the anger and hate that she was sure would ensure her survival, forming alliances and even friendships with the clones she had sworn to despise as they prove to be unlike their reg counterparts. She must learn to trust and rely on them again if there is any chance of them living against a relentless and ruthless Empire intent on seeing them all dead.
