Book Description

Nev just started as the cargo loader on the starship Kaitan Heritage. His captain, Qole, is the youngest-ever person on Alaxak to have her own ship. She's bold, and she brooks no argument from her crew of orphans, fugitives, and con men. Nev can't resist her, even if her ship is an antique.

As for Nev, he's handsome and arrogant--and Qole and the crew have no idea that he's actually a prince in hiding. He thinks Qole holds the key to changing galactic civilization, but when her cooperation proves difficult to obtain, he resolves to get her to his home planet by any means necessary. Word of Nev's presence on board spreads quickly to other ships, however. Before they know it, a rival royal family is after Qole, and they're more interested in stealing her abilities than in keeping her alive. Nev's mission to manipulate her becomes one to save her. To survive, she'll have to trust her would-be kidnapper. Nev may be royalty, but Qole is discovering a deep reservoir of power of her own--and stars have mercy on whoever tries to hurt her ship or her crew.

Firefly meets Dune as this close-knit, found family of a crew navigates a galaxy of political intrigue and resource-driven power games.
