About the book

The Misfits are off on another planet-hopping adventure—this time, into the dark heart of a deadly trade.

When Jirra and Toreni rescue Romila from a raid on her antiques business, the team stumbles onto a dangerous new mission: uncovering a drug-smuggling ring that hides its product inside carved statues of ice warriors on a remote world.

But the team’s not exactly united. Toreni and Chet have fallen out, Toreni’s been offered a deal that’s hard to refuse, and Jirra’s questioning her future. When the smuggling trail leads to something far more sinister, the Misfits must put aside their differences before it’s too late—because if they can’t act together, a lot of people will die. Including them.

Rescuing Romila is the second Morgan’s Misfits adventure. Expect action, investigation, political tension, teamwork, and a light thread of romance. Moderate spice.
