Starborn Vendetta

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.On the far side of the galaxy, in the distant future, is the Cluster-a collection of stars and worlds where life flourishes. Humans, refugees from their lost Ancient Earth, coexist with other peoples like the tribal Feles, the elite Kavki, and the distant Ekri.A human woman arrives on a remote asteroid prison. Unlike the other convicts, she is fascinating, defiant, and unbowed, earning the respect and hatred of guards and prisoners alike. Her name, hidden from all, is Mercedes Solari, Duchess of the planet New Dubai. Forced from her throne and banished for life, the galaxy now thinks her dead. But Mercedes has no intention of going quietly into that good night.When a chance encounter frees Mercedes from her prison, it sets her on a path of revenge. Changed by a decade of wear and backed by the money and influence of her new patron, she bends all her wits to a single task-the destruction of her enemies and the reclamation of her home and title.Whatever the cost.Filled with spine-tingling action, vicious political intrigue, and a starcruiser full of petty and beguiling characters alike, Starborn Vendetta is a triumph of galactic proportions. Buckle your harness and prepare for launch-the Cluster awaits.
