Khunda

The Royal planets are not as civil as you think.

Author, Lexy Greggs, lives on Earth, and her readers would never guess her stories come from her missions in space. Lexy is the two-star Captain of the Khunda, a Royal transport ship.

When she and her best friend/pilot, Z, get selected to transport a would-be King, they know this is their chance to shine.

But an unexpected stowaway, mercenaries, and a kidnapping could mean the end of their careers, if not their lives.

Book One in the Ancient Blood trilogy.
