Description[]
An original novel written by Hugo Award-winning author N. K. Jemisin and Mass Effect creative director Mac Walters
Lieutenant Cora Harper joined the Systems Alliance to develop and enhance her powerful biotic talents. She was assigned to the asari commando unit Talein's Daughters, where she honed her abilities to become a skilled and deadly huntress.
Returning to Earth, Cora finds herself a stranger among other humans, and joins the Andromeda Initiative as Alec Ryder's second-in-command. The mission will send 100,000 colonists on a one-way, 600-year-long journey into the unknown. When essential—and dangerous—tech is stolen, Cora is assigned to recover it before it can be used against the Initiative, and end the mission before it can begin.

Trivia[]
- An anti-Andromeda Initiative stinger run by Khalisah al-Jilani supposedly airs on a Sunday, December 27, 2184. The date in question is actually a Monday.
- Ryder misremembers Quiet Eddy's location as Kepler Verge instead of the Hades Nexus.
- Fehl Prime's disappearance becomes known to the general public through news reports dated December 29, 2184, although Mass Effect: Paragon Lost depicts the surrounding events as happening at least two years after Commander Shepard's disappearance in 2183.
