Absolution: The Serena Darkwood Adventures, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

Smuggling. It can get you killed. 

Trouble follows Serena, even from the remote mining colony of Broker Rodune. She lives by a simple code: Take the job, don’t ask questions, get paid. When she’s approached by the outpost’s local crime boss, Tobias Grey, she’s compelled to find his missing daughter. 

In her search for Astra, Serena becomes entangled in local politics, and a surprising coup on the planet Rygail. With the heir to Rygail’s throne missing, now Serena has two objectives, save Astra Grey and prevent the heir’s death at the hands of the Auroran Brotherhood, thwarting their plans to plunge the galaxy into all-out war.

The life of a smuggler...is never easy.
