An illegal immigrant.A shape-shifting [...] a secret space station, protecting the Earth.

A heart-warming eco-sci-fi adventure for fans of Becky Chambers, Ursula Le Guin, Douglas Adams and Doctor Who.

Since leaving Ethiopia, nineteen-year-old orphan Hanna Abebe has survived in London by working illegally as a cleaner. But her life unravels after a sexual assault; living rough, she loses the resulting pregnancy and very nearly her life. She is saved by Kitty, a mysterious shape-shifter, and welcomed into an unusual new family: a school training spacecraft fighter pilots for the Shantivira, the alien space station which secretly protects the Earth.

Hanna discovers she has a talent for flying and joins the programme. But then she learns Lucy Cooper, her main rival and unlikely new friend, is a spy for an organisation claiming the Shantivira's motives are sinister.

When Lucy and their favourite teacher are kidnapped, Hanna and her friends rush to the Swiss Alps on a rescue mission. Simultaneously, a frigate of terrifying space pirates arrives in the solar system, intent on plundering the planet for its abundant riches.

With dark forces circling, can the cleaner, the cat and the space station keep the Earth and its inhabitants safe?
