Corey J. White.
Killing Gravity.
Tor. 2017

Mars Xi can kill you with her mind, but she’ll need more than psychic powers to save her in this thrilling science fiction space adventure.

Before Mariam Xi escaped in a bloody coup, MEPHISTO transformed her into a deadly voidwitch. Their training left her with terrifying capabilities, a fierce sense of independence, a deficit of trust, and an experimental pet named Seven. She’s spent her life on the run, but the boogeymen from her past are catching up with her. An encounter with a bounty hunter has left her hanging helpless in a dying spaceship, dependent on the mercy of strangers.

Penned in on all sides, Mariam chases rumors to find the one who sold her out. To discover the truth and defeat her pursuers, she’ll have to stare into the abyss and find the secrets of her past, her future, and her terrifying potential.
