Science Fiction Space Opera | Romance
A dutiful princess questions everything she was taught to believe and, with the help of a handsome rogue space pilot, sets out to reclaim her power and save her people in this genre-blending, romantic space opera.
The idyllic lunar colony of Boaterra means everything to its perfect, dutiful Princess Lyrii Thana—and she’s prepared to marry the austere Commander of their Sisterworld, Chinov, in order to protect it.
After an assassination attempt goes awry, Lyrii is saved by Kade, a mysterious space pilot. He promises to transport her safely to Chinov so her wedding can proceed as planned—for a price. With no other way to travel across the galaxy, Lyrii is forced to trust him in order to fulfill her duty to her home and her throne.
When an emergency landing on a refugee spaceship that shouldn’t exist forces Lyrii to confront the lies her family's empire is built on, she finds herself torn between loyalty, fear, and her growing feelings for Kade. As her arranged wedding draws closer, Lyrii must decide whether she’ll bow to the hand of destiny forced upon her, or finally put herself first...even if that means going against the very system she helped create.
