Earth transmigrator Joanna Lane awakens in an interstellar realm burdened with crushing debt and sudden betrayal. On the eve of the crucial Crucible trials, her aristocratic squad members kick her out of the unit, driving her to risk her very soul summoning a legendary silver wolf named Nighthowl.
When Nighthowl retaliates against an assault from her former squad leader, the corrupt academy dean demands she put the beast down or face immediate exile. Joanna refuses to butcher her sworn companion, choosing banishment and venturing into forbidden deep-space dungeons to claim ancient cosmic relics, build a loyal combat coalition, and tear down the elite class hierarchy.
