Inherit the Stars

An epic debut set on the edges of space, where one botched job could mean death or so much worse

Wanderlust runs in Kivita Vondir s blood. She dreamed of salvaging like her father when she was young, and now it s her addiction, getting her through pit stops filled with cheap alcohol and cheaper companionship and distracting her from her broken heart.

Her latest contract to hunt down a fabled gemstone is exactly the kind of adventure she craves. But this job is more than meets the eye. For one thing, her duplicitous employer has hired rebel Sar Redryll Kivita s former lover to stop her at any cost. For another, Kivita s recovery of the relic unleashes in her powerful new abilities. Abilities that everyone in the Cetturo Arm human, alien, and in-between desperately wishes to control

As she avoids a massive galactic manhunt, Kivita teams up with two unlikely allies: Sar and his enigmatic new partner. Only, as the gem s mysteries are revealed and danger draws near, Kivita begins to wonder if her ex has truly changed, or if he s just waiting for the right moment to betray her once again
