DECEIVED BY HER OWN DNA Kelsoe Shaheera Trikellien was a fierce pirate, and a damned good one. A wrecker in reality, she stripped the incredibly valuable hyper-electronics from starships that had been lured onto the Wrecker's Moon to crash. For an orphan and a slave with quick nimble fingers, and a quicker mind, it was a good life. When the bosses who ran the Wrecker's Moon decided to lure in a Fleet Convoy to die, including a battle weary light brigade of Imperial Marines, just for its valuable weapons, everything changed. Thrust into the middle of galactic politics, betrayal and mass murder, Kelsoe suddenly found herself fighting for her life. Now the fate of the Staarkand Empire depends on her, but at fifteen years old, can she depend on herself?
