Song of Scarabaeus

About “Song of Scarabaeus”

Edie was trained from a young age in advanced biocyph seed technology by the Crib empire, which uses her skills to terraform alien worlds while exploiting the Fringe populations. When renegade mercenaries kidnap her, she is unsure if it is a bad thing—until they bind her to Finn, a former freedom fighter turned slave. If Edie leaves Finn’s side, he will die. If she does not cooperate, the pirates will kill them both. Edie’s abilities exceed what her enemies expect. With Finn as her only ally as the Crib closes in, she must prove her strength or die on the world of Scarabaeus, the site of her only failure. This is a 2010 novel by Sara Creasy.
