After his grandfather's funeral, Davis Mercer expects grief, not a hidden berth on an aging station and a ship no one in the family ever knew existed.
But Wayward is more than an inheritance.
Hidden in Bay 14-C on Braddock Station, the ship comes with a private room, a journal, and the buried history of a man Davis loved without ever fully understanding. What begins as curiosity becomes something far more dangerous as Davis uncovers a hidden design, a secret life, and the unsettling truth that Wayward is no ordinary vessel. Beneath her patched hull lies a mystery tied to wonder, secrecy, and a dangerous kind of excellence.
And the deeper Davis goes, the clearer it becomes that the real question is not only what his grandfather left behind.
It is what the ship asks of the people who love her.
For Davis, husband, father, investigator, pilot, and grandson, Wayward becomes more than a mystery to solve. She becomes a test of judgment, loyalty, and the fine line between wonder and obsession.
Because some inheritances are not gifts.
They are judgments.
