Ten years ago, Captain Colderaro was a hero of the Confederacy Task Force—until she vanished. Now presumed dead, she hides in plain sight as a freighter pilot, taking on the occasional refugee to soothe her guilt.
But when her latest cargo turns out to be a princess from a foreign race and her bodyguards, Colderaro is thrust into a galaxy-spanning conspiracy. Hunted by the Confederacy Task Force, space pirates, and relentless mercenaries, the captain must navigate treacherous space to deliver her precious cargo.
Caught between protecting her identity and the princess’s life, Colderaro faces impossible odds. Can she outrun her pursuers and uncover the truth behind the scheme, or will this mission expose her secrets and cost her everything?
