Space pirates, a missing ship, a galaxy in turmoil.
Anwyn Owens just wants to be a great mercenary under the legendary Veraz. No more, no less.
Her world shatters when her uncle Owen, President of the League of Free Planets, is kidnapped during a secret meeting with notorious pirate captain Shan. Anwyn rushes into the unknown aboard an experimental cloaked ship with a ragtag crew, intent on rescue.
Their only advantage? The element of surprise.
Standing in her way is a Malvore general with a vendetta, the mysterious disappearance of another experimental ship, and evidence of the Malvore building massive weapons facilities in supposedly uninhabited systems—preparations for a war that could engulf the entire galaxy.
Time is running out.
The Malvore will stop at nothing to keep their secrets, including destroying anyone who discovers them.
Anwyn must navigate shifting political allegiances, deadly space battles, and her own fears to rescue her uncle before it's too late.
With war on the horizon, the mission becomes far more than a simple rescue. The intelligence Anwyn discovers could determine the fate of entire civilizations.
Will Anwyn and her team manage to rescue her uncle and expose the hidden Malvore plot? Or will they become casualties in a brewing interstellar conflict that threatens to engulf the galaxy?
Another great book in this series. I have read all so far and this one does not disappoint. The renowned author has once again portrayed his characters with great authority. The bi-line is exciting and flows with the overall story line. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
Anwyn and her crew are meeting with her uncle Owen and the pirate Shan when they are attacked and her uncle is kidnapped. Now the crew is separated and Anwyn must make the decision to try and save her uncle, or find the rest of her team. A very action packed and intense book in the series, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading to the end.
