Desire & The Law: Assassin at Allgate She was built to commit the murder. Now she must solve it. When the alien aristocrat she was built to assassinate turns up murdered instead, what's an android assassin supposed to do? For Desire - a half-scale, hyper-advanced android with an attitude - it’s simple: ditch her undercover brothel job, hack her way off the space station, and hunt down the real killer. But in a society where machines are disposable property and androids without a purpose are sent for recycling, rogue androids are even more illegal than purpose-built assassins. Determined to survive, Desire escapes the station and begins hunting the real killer-only to collide with "The Law," a rule-bound rookie officer of galactic justice assigned to the case. With aristocratic families covering their tracks, telepathic elites striking from the shadows, and conspiracies waiting at every turn, the two unlikely allies must put aside their differences to uncover the truth. Because someone wanted the aristocrat dead. And someone even more powerful will do anything to make sure no one learns why. In this first installment of a new sci-fi mystery series by Tristis Ward, a rogue assassin android and a devout officer of galactic law become the galaxy's most unlikely detective team in a witty cross-galaxy adventure of conspiracies, secrets, and dangerous truths. Desire & The Law: Assassin at Allgate is perfect for readers who enjoy the rogue-AI wit of The Murderbot Diaries, the political scope of Ancillary Justice, and the adventurous spirit of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. About the Author: Tristis Ward is a writer, artist, and former radio producer based in Fredericton, New Brunswick. With a background in English, graphic design, theatre, and criminology, she crafts immersive stories rich in intrigue and rebellion. Her first novel, Bones of the Magus: All That Remains, introduced the universe of Desire & The Law. Her work spans apocalyptic fiction, sci-fi mysteries, and fairy tales, appearing in anthologies, public performances, and independent releases, each pulsing with originality.
