Empress of a Thousand Skies

Crown Princess Rhiannon Ta'an, known as Rhee, is the last living heir of an ancient Kalusian dynasty. She has trained all her life to destroy the people who killed her family, and her coronation is about to give her both a throne and the chance at revenge.

Alyosha is a Wraetan who grew up among war refugees and rose to fame as the dashing star of a DroneVision show. His popularity does not shield him from anti-Wraetan prejudice, and he feels constant pressure to look perfect for the public.

Their lives collide when Rhee is attacked and barely escapes alive. Aly is blamed for her presumed murder. Princess and accused killer both go into hiding, while a war between planets is fought in Rhee's name.

This is young adult space opera, told from two points of view, with court intrigue, war, friendship and romance in the mix. In hiding, Rhee and Aly learn that the attack was only one piece of a larger plot. They are the only two who can stop it, and they have to work together to protect the galaxy.
