Mercenary's Apprentice
Will she get her chance to become a mercenary?
Or is she trapped in her prominent family’s political intrigues?
Anwyn Owens anticipates joining the mercenary team she has close ties to. All is going well…
Until an attempt on her uncle’s life threatens to derail a diplomatic mission to Morvaise.
Escalating attacks force him to ask the mercenaries to provide security while they investigate a series of threats. To Anwyn’s annoyance, her uncle requests her to join his diplomatic team “one last time.”
Mounting evidence points at the Hrithain representatives, who want Morvaise to join their empire instead of the League. Is that enough to provoke murder? Or are the Hrithain seeking personal vengeance?
Nor can the team rule out an inside job. Who in the League—or worse, from Anwyn’s own planet—wants her and her uncle removed…permanently?
Adding to the confusion, one highly placed member of the Hrithain royal family is paying more attention to Anwyn than she likes.
Will she and the team be able to avert disaster?
Join Anwyn and her friends as she navigates the challenges, complications, and risks of becoming a mercenary.Two interstellar powers might never be the same after messing with the Mercenary’s Apprentice!

New crew member
Anwyn is finally leaving the circus to become a full time mercenary. On her last trip with her friends in the circus her uncle ropes her and her mercenary crew into helping him with a diplomatic mission, and things start to get out of hand. I love the characters in this series and the cats are a lot of fun. There is always plenty of action and humor in the books and I am looking forward to the next book in the series

Excellent sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding is fascinating, especially in Apprentice, as characters point out that Mythris isn't the perfect society it pretends to be. Anwyn meets some interesting people and has adventures that are too thrilling. Bad stuff happens. Romance happens. I'm looking forward to book 6, Royal Diplomacy.

This series keeps improving
I truly enjoyed the characters and overall story in the latest book in this series. Although I guessed who the traitor was early in the book it still left room for doubt.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Great job by the author.

Another fine story in the series
A good main character surrounded by other equally interesting characters with plenty of plot twists makes for a great book. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

A day lost, but not
Since I started this book this morning I've done little else but read it - a day well spent methinks.
