Aliens. Space pirates. Dragons.

Madison Wayward, niece towards the most notorious captain among the outlaw Stardrifters, includes a strategy. She’ll visit nothing to give humanity a flicker of hope in its darkest hour. If she would consider pausing, her plans might not blow up in her encounter quite so much.

Kirehe Mahono, a skilled warrior with an unusual gift, has a dragon. She’ll visit nothing to protect her people from the enemy machines infesting her world. If she got something much better than a blade to create to a laser beam fight, she may have better luck.

Used prisoner by tyrannical aliens and dumped right into a slave pit, both women will have to funnel their strengths to survive. And escape.
