THE ADVENTURES OF KAT & LEE CONTINUE...
7.30.2026
Kat Hanneman and Lee Waters always dreamed of riding off into the stars together. With their final term approaching at the Raider Academy and the shadow of their last raid hanging over their hearts, that dream has never felt more vital.

But when secrets resurface, with the eyes of both their Commander and General, and the future of their Raider Placement on their backs, they begin to question everything they stand for. As their world crumbles around them, with only a promise whispered behind closed doors to guide them, Kat and Lee must decide what is worth fighting for, and what is better left as ash in the ruins of the galaxy, and how far one can possibly ride on a dream.
