The Wild Orbit Trilogy: the three covers of the pack

The concept

Damaris Rhee moves things that were never meant to move: dead stations, damaged docks and obsolete habitats. Koro is different. Its forty thousand residents are openly awaiting forced dispersal after a war they lost. When their delegates ask Damaris to use the dismantling equipment to move the whole habitat instead, she agrees to one impossible departure. Escape creates a harder task. She can command the tug, but the people inside the moon must decide where they are willing to go and what they will become when they arrive. Coral Hart built this concept from the top-selling tropes and what's selling hot right now. Every book is read by a real human reader before it reaches you.

KoroAn eight-kilometre artificial habitat with forty thousand residents, cultivated interiors and limited reserves. It is a place people have built lives in, not a convenient container of anonymous refugees.

The anchor routesInterstellar folds require an already mapped pair of anchor stations. Koro's industrial relocation drive has three sealed transit charges. Each passage demands preparation and extended cooling; its ordinary tug cannot outrun a fleet in open space.

Intended readershipAdult space-opera readers who enjoy a resourceful civilian crew, tangible limits, tactical action and a large-scale moral problem made personal. The emphasis is an accessible, propulsive voyage rather than a hard-science exposition or a romance arc.

Reader promiseA bold escape, a sustained siege and a decisive final transit, with consequences that carry forward. Established capabilities solve the crises. The inhabitants remain active participants, and the trilogy gives them an actual home and an end to the immediate pursuit.

Tone & contentUrgent, adventurous and humane. Combat, adult casualties, displacement and difficult wartime choices; no lingering gore or sexual violence. Warm crew relationships and hope balance danger. No romantic ending is advertised.

The people behind the promise

Damaris Rhee • 36Civilian tug captain. Superb at moving mass, inexperienced at being responsible for a town. Her first instinct is to treat every disagreement as a delay; she learns that consent is part of the mission.

Yael Osei • 50Koro's elected delegate. She argued for escape and refuses to let gratitude become permanent rule by the woman with the engines.

Ansel Sorn • 38A former opposing-fleet navigator who defects to help the departure. His tactical knowledge is valuable; his previous loyalties make trust a choice he must keep earning.

Zadi Mek • 26Hydroponics organiser and resident representative. Her concern is food, heat and the people who will still need both after a spectacular manoeuvre.

Olan Tesh • 61 / Admiral Varro Enne • 55Koro's veteran relocation engineer and the pursuing fleet commander. Olan knows what the machinery cannot do. Enne regards an independent refuge as a threat to the peace he has imposed.

Series progression

01 / EscapeDamaris learns that she can act decisively without owning the people she helps.
02 / EnduranceThe residents become a political community under pressure rather than a grateful audience.
03 / ArrivalThe people of Koro choose what kind of home they want, and Damaris has to carry out that choice without becoming its permanent price.

The three books

The direction is set. The books are written after you order.

Book 1 of three

The Moon We Stole

The surrender is signed. The moon has other plans.

Damaris Rhee has been hired to take Koro apart. The winning fleet will disperse its residents, strip its useful machinery and call the result peace. Nobody is pretending the moon is empty. That is what makes the contract unbearable.

Koro's delegates offer a different job: move the habitat intact through a nearby transit anchor before the occupation ships dock. The old relocation drive can do it. Getting the moon free of its orbital restraints is another matter, and Damaris's tug was never built to fight a navy.

With a defecting navigator, a furious engineer and forty thousand lives behind her, she begins the largest theft in the system. Getting away will take more than nerve. Somebody has to decide who is allowed to stay, who wants to leave and what a captain owes the people she is about to carry into exile.

Story focusAn inhabited-habitat escape • civilian ingenuity • a crew choosing its allegiance.

Place in the seriesDamaris learns that she can act decisively without owning the people she helps.

Book 2 of three

Siege of the Borrowed Sky

Forty thousand people need a harbour. Every harbour has heard her name.

Koro reaches its refuge with one transit charge spent and a cooling drive that cannot take it anywhere else. The station ahead closes its approaches. Admiral Enne's ultimatum arrives soon after: surrender the navigator and the moon's captain, or remain outside until its reserves fail.

Damaris thinks the choice is hers to make. Yael Osei knows that trading two people will not settle the question of who controls Koro. Inside, families disagree over how much hardship freedom is worth, and a splinter group begins preparing its own departure.

To survive the blockade, Damaris must stop treating every dissenting voice as an enemy. The moon has engines. It needs a way to choose a direction—and enough time to make that choice matter.

Story focusA siege with limited supplies • competing visions of safety • collective command.

Place in the seriesThe residents become a political community under pressure rather than a grateful audience.

Book 3 of three

A Home Beyond the Guns

Their final jump can bring them home. It can also bring the fleet.

There is a place for Koro beyond the last anchor: a quiet system whose residents have agreed to share their orbit. There is also a fleet following close enough to turn that refuge into another occupied world.

Damaris can spend the moon's final charge. She cannot promise that everyone who keeps the route open will make the crossing. Closing the anchor behind them would stop Enne—and end their easiest connection to every place and person they have left behind.

For the first time, a fast decision is not enough. The people of Koro must choose what kind of home they want, and Damaris must find a way to carry out that choice without making herself its permanent price.

Story focusA final transit • irreversible sacrifice • arrival and the end of emergency rule.

Place in the seriesThe people of Koro choose what kind of home they want, and Damaris has to carry out that choice without becoming its permanent price.

Reasons to keep reading

An inhabited moon as the central moving setting and a memorable visual premise.
A female civilian captain paired with an elected resident leader, not an unchallenged chosen saviour.
Three transit charges make the series' physical decisions finite and irreversible.

A world with room to grow

The trilogy completes Koro's voyage. Further adventures can follow the tug crew from their established home into new systems, using other ships and conflicts. The original population is not displaced again simply to restart the story.

Series overview

Koro cannot hide. It is too large to run and too full of people to abandon. Damaris Rhee has three transit charges, a civilian tug and a promise she has no right to make alone. Across an escape, a siege and a final crossing, forty thousand people will decide what it costs to carry a home with them.
