Rescues and the Rhyssa

Cadan is cousin to the King of Nidum star system, and his favorite weapon to needle the Imperial forces encroaching on their territory. With her combat implants and a reckless streak the size of a planet, Cadan has never failed him.

Pan Sophi, Captain of the Rhyssa, is a smuggler who makes her living off the tensions. With her crew behind her, Sophi's always on the lookout for the next deal. Anything to keep flying.

They only get along when they're falling into bed together. Otherwise the clash between Cadan's idealism and Sophi's harsher worldview always
results in a fight. But when the King's children are kidnapped, only Sophi has the skills to help Cadan get them back.
