Publisher's summary
I’m Rishi Tremayne. I’m fifteen, female and desperately working to take care of my sick family.
I hunt wrecked spaceships, destroyed in battle during the Slave War and turn in their location for credits - credits I desperately need. Yeah, I know I used that word twice, so it's doubly true.
If I don’t find hulls. . . we don’t eat. . . or pay rent. . . or get the necessary meds my family needs to block the excruciating pain they suffer from that dreaded nerve disease.
I sometimes get into trouble finding those ships. And, yeah, I also get into trouble with my. . . attitude. Sometimes. Well, often. Whatever.
Anyway, I found what I thought was a valuable metal asteroid.
I don’t get credits for those. . . but when I posted it to the Mining Guild, the attacks started - my family and all of my friends were murdered by a squad of mercenaries. I saw them do it. They even used a battle drone to destroy our apartment building. Only elite Houses have that kind of wealth to hire merc’s and battle drones.
So. . . maybe it wasn’t an asteroid after all.
But it can’t be a warship. . . it’s just waaayyy too big for that - at over 2 kilometers long.
After the first attempt to kill me, I was saved by an elite warrior and now we’re on the run barely escaping attack after attack as the mercenaries try to kill us.
She’s convinced I accidentally discovered a warship - a dreadnought - that was supposed to be hidden. And, now she wants to share that with the Empress of the Empire. Not me. I just want to run, hide and live, somewhere, somehow.
So, this is my story. Yes, I do meet Empress Elith, leader of the entire Hoganthan Empire that spans the civilized galaxy and her elite warriors.
And, they have a plan. Their plan is scary simple - go kill the dreadnought. Simple and direct, but it is a plan. They are just so. . . competent.
Before? I wanted to run and hide. Now, after meeting them? I want retribution for those who killed my family and friends. I want revenge, plain and simple. I guess my attitude has changed.
Anyway, I get one shot at that. . . just one. . . IF I can live long enough to take it before our ship is destroyed by the enemy spaceships firing their weapons at us.

With the fall of the Knights of Templar, the suppression of the evil Umbra came to an end. They could once again roam free and seek vengeance wherever they landed—the bringers of chaos into the world of men and of the Others. The Knights, denied their right of power and need to protect, turned Guardians, slink in and out of the shadows, defending this world against the malicious Umbra and their Queen.

Only a lucky few possess the gene necessary for function during interstellar travel. Those that possess it often end up in a landscape of danger, intrigue, and wealth. Without protection from the dangers in the galaxy, everything would collapse. The same as it has been since the dawn of civilization, soldiers are needed to keep society safe. Benjamin Owens wants to join the Interspace marines simply to get away from a dull life on a mud-soaked planet. With a few good friends, and a trusty laser rifle, hell set off to make his mark on the stars, and make a few credits along the way.

Born to a Magical Fantasy Princess and a nine-to-five Supervillain in the most superhero riddled city in the world, Perry's never felt...adequate. He's got no talent for magic, and not a scrap of superpowers to his name. When The System boots and unlocks his powers, it forces him to follow in his father's footsteps, but he'd rather take after his mother... Maybe there's a way he can do both...
