War beckons, in the first part of this interstellar tale, of an orphan and her lover. No secret daughter of the high and mighty, with a destiny cast in stone. No powers supernatural, mystical abilities or fey creatures to aid. A simple freighter pilot, skirting the law, eking out a living, forced to confront the perils of an uncertain future. Lies, deception and corporate intrigue mire the waters. In league with dubious allies and enemies relying on her wits, a gun and a combat burnout; to shield her back.
A few friends, a few ships, and a stuffed bear for company, our heroines, venture out amongst the stars. Overcoming trials and misfortune, with each twist and turn, Keira wanders this uncertain path. Surviving till tomorrow, victory enough for today. The fate of the universe, a task for another?
