Aditi “Adi” Nizhóní Peshlakai was built for war. Once a Colonial Fleet Marine Myrmidon—augmented muscle, subdermal armor, neural net sharpened to a razor edge—she left the Corps with scars, secrets, and a rigid sense of honor in a world that no longer values it.
  Now she runs jobs on the fringes of Chendiuria, a desert colony where survival is bought with credits, muscle, or blood. Adi tells herself she’s done with war, but war isn’t done with her.
  When a job from the shadowy broker Markus Kane goes bad, Adi finds herself holding something far bigger than stolen tech: proof of extraterrestrial life. Every syndicate, corporation, and government wants it—and her. Kane offers upgrades, armor, and half-truths, but his situational ethics clash hard with Adi’s unshakable code. To survive, she’ll have to decide how much of herself she’s willing to sacrifice… and whether she’s becoming more than human, or something far worse.
  As assassins, mercenary crews, and city AIs close in, Adi must weaponize the revolution itself. The line between soldier and monster is razor thin—exactly where she fights best.
  Augmented Valor is a gritty cyberpunk space opera of loyalty, betrayal, and the price of evolution—where the strongest weapon isn’t always firepower, but the will to outlast everything trying to break you.
