Summary

The second book in the hit series from New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee!

This three-book series explores the untapped potential and duality of heroism of popular characters in the Marvel Universe. The first book in these series, Loki: Where Mischief Lies , was an instant New York Times best seller and received two starred reviews.

Gamora arrives on Torndune--a once-lush planet that has been strip-mined for the power source beneath its surface--with a mission: collect the heart of the planet.

She doesn't know who sent her, why they want it, or even what the heart of a planet looks like. But as the right hand and daughter of Thanos, and one of the galaxy's most legendary warriors, her job is not to ask questions. Her job is to do what she's told, no matter the cost.

What she doesn't know is that her sister Nebula is in hot pursuit. Nebula has followed Gamora to Torndune in hopes of claiming the planet's heart first and shaming her sister as vengeance for the part she played in Nebula losing her arm. While Gamora falls in with a group of miners attempting to overthrow the tyrannical mining corporation that controls their lives, Nebula allies herself with the Universal Church of Truth, whose missionaries wait on every street corner to recruit more followers and tithes for the Matriarch. Both sisters hope their alliance will give them access to one of the massive diggers capable of drilling to the center of the planet.

But the closer they get to the heart of the planet--and to each other--the closer they get to uncovering the truth of what brought them there and the role they may unknowingly be playing in a twisted competition with galactic consequences. A competition they can never win . . . unless they learn to trust each other.

And trust is the biggest lie in the galaxy.

Kirkus Review

Estranged sisters Gamora and Nebula race to retrieve the heart of a dying planet, guided by forces beyond their knowledge. Lee's latest explores a turning point for two of the Marvel Universe's most complicated figures. Green-skinned mercenary Gamora sells her skills and connections to the highest bidder--which is usually her father, Thanos. He's manipulated and pitted his adopted daughters against one another for years but always favors Gamora, leading blue-skinned Nebula to make increasingly desperate attempts to prove her worth; recently, she lost an arm for her trouble. Practical, efficient Gamora doesn't dwell on the rivalry with her sister: She's had little reason to doubt their father's methods or motivations. Gamora's latest assignment is on Torndune, a once-verdant planet that's been ravaged for its subterranean deposits of Crowmikite, a valuable energy source. She doesn't know she's been followed there by Nebula, who's also in pursuit of Torndune's heart and who possesses critical information about Gamora's mission. Everything changes when the sisters reconnect in the midst of a rebellion against the powerful entities who profit from Torndune's natural resources and discover just who hired Gamora--and why. Gripping and well-choreographed fight sequences--both physical and verbal--establish each sister's strengths and weaknesses and foreshadow a final confrontation. Transcripts of a chaotic meeting between the Grandmaster and several guests punctuate the sisters' alternating perspectives. Come for the action, stay for the emotional depth.
