Zenith

Androma Racella has a fearsome name across the Mirabel Galaxy. As the Bloody Baroness, she is a mercenary whose ruthless reputation keeps rivals and bounty hunters away. Aboard her glass starship, the Marauder, she is just Andi, friend and leader to an all-girl crew that has come through worse than most.

A routine mission turns out to be a trap. The Marauder ends up in the hands of a sadistic bounty hunter from Andi's past, and the crew's loyalty is tested along with her own resolve.

Elsewhere, on the planet Xen Ptera, a ruler is waiting for her moment. She wants revenge for the destruction of her people, and she is setting the last pieces of a plot that spans the galaxy.

The book is a space opera of mercenary politics and found family, set in a galaxy where no one can be fully trusted. Andi's crew and the schemer on Xen Ptera move toward a reckoning. It could bring order back to the Marauder, or it could spark a war that swallows whole worlds. It opens the two-book Androma Saga.
