It’s not just working at the diner that’s making life hard for her. Being a half-human, half-alien girl has never been trickier. The government is hunting down the last of her father’s alien Auanare race living on Earth. Every minute Maité stays on Earth is one closer to getting caught. Maité is forced into work detail on the volcano planet, Abbadon, while she waits for SpaceTech to make their move against the Aunare.

There’s only one question: Can Maité prevent the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?

There are only a few rules in a White Elephant gift exchange: Everyone brings a wrapped gift. No name. Numbers are drawn to decide who picks first. You don’t want to draw an early number, because anyone who picks after you can steal your gift, and anyone after them can steal their gift, and so on. Gifts don’t need to be pricey—and often they’re downright tacky. This year, though, there’s a strange gift in the mix: an antique crystal vase. At least the sales agents are guessing it’s an antique—otherwise it’d be a terrible present. It’s certainly not very pretty or expensive-looking. In fact, the gift makes sense only to Dan and Ottoline. The vase is the weapon Dan used to commit a murder years ago, a murder that helped start his company, a murder that Ottoline helped cover up. She swore that no one would ever be able to find the vase or trace it to their crime. So which of their employees did? And why did they place it in the White Elephant? What could possibly be their endgame?

Turns out the computer’s owner is an investment manager. To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, Sebastian scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and attaches his business card. But Fixie laughs it off—she’d never actually claim an IOU from a stranger. Would she?
