Tristen's Time

Tristen was a pirate until it became more lucrative to hunt down those he once claimed as his own. Now, he captures pirate ships and their crews and makes quite the living off it. Until, a call comes from an old friend, The Falconer. Tristen rushes to his aid, only to come out of it with more than he bargained for - a ship full of freed slaves. Now, he must find homes for them all. But the bigger issue may be the slave girl, Asha. Now free, she is determined to make sure all slaves gain the same freedom across the land. Tristen doesn't have time for this or her, but he might need to make time or he could lose it all.
Tristen is a short story that is great alone, but to fully enjoy it, it is recommended to be read as the final book in The Guardian Star Series, because the majority of the story happens during the time frame of The Guardian’s Star’s True Captain.
