Once I was the heir of House Valiant, but the Empire took everything from me. Now I’m a mercenary and a plunderer—my home is the old corvette “Shadow,” and my only ally is an outcast raxi.
In the Quasar-948-b system, I was looking only for a way to survive, but I stumbled upon secrets that noble Houses would prefer to keep hidden. Someone is running dirty business under the banner of my destroyed family. When Clan Oberon sent elite assault troops to clean up the traces, I was forced to do the impossible—kill one of them.
Now I’m a target for the Empire’s chain dogs. I hold dangerous technologies, and inside me burns the cold rage of an heir who has nothing left to lose. The Oberons think they’ve cornered me, but they’re very wrong.
The war has begun. And I will get back everything they stole from me.
