Her goal was simply to reach the planet of her dreams, where Tarkanak—the best military-space Academy in the inhabited Galaxy—was located. But life doesn’t ask permission. It tosses a person into the whirlpool of events. The road proved not easy; victory was expensive. But maybe it had to be that way?
