Rogue Star

A hero in disgrace. A city that has turned its back. A darkness waiting in the void.

Danny Andela saved Lyonesse—or so the galaxy believes. Branded unstable, disgraced, and quietly abandoned by the people she fought to protect, Danny has lost everything: her reputation, her allies, even the Bai worlds she once helped unite. With nowhere left to go, she retreats to an old, broken ship and prepares to disappear.

But the galaxy won’t leave her alone.

Strange disappearances and whispered rumors of something moving in the shadows convince Danny that the nightmare she uncovered in Lyonesse is far from over. No one believes her.

To keep what remains of her life together, Danny will have to become exactly what everyone fears she already is: paranoid, relentless...and very dangerous.
