Queen of the Falconstar
From captive slave to star queen.
Zlata always yearned to see the stars, but when a raiding party of starfaring nomads carries her off captive, she can't help but wonder if this is more than she bargained for.
When their captain, Lord Khasan Valdamar, shows an unusual interest in her, Zlata quickly finds that she can leverage that to her advantage. But the more time she spends among his people, the less she wants to escape.
Determined to save herself and her friend Sonya from being sold as slaves, Zlata must rely on her wits, her resourcefulness, and her Machiavellian ruthlessness to rise through the clan heirarchy and navigate the brutal and treacherous universe beyond the civilized stars.
Queen of the Falconstar is the first book in the Falconstar Trilogy, an epic far-future space opera set in the same universe as Star Wanderers and Bringing Stella Home. If you love sprawling galactic empires, bloody court intrigue, and dynastic power struggles, you'll find all that and more in this trilogy.

falcon star Queen
Great story very interesting. Plot was involved enough to keep one looking forward to what came next. Characters were very interesting. The background of the space station in the beginning of the story helped set the story very well.
