She was a sensie star with a dream. Now she's building a starship-and founding a nation in the process.
Kendra Cassidy used to make people believe in fantasy. Now she's determined to build a future worth believing in. When the Pegasus Project-the last, best hope for warp travel-collapses under political pressure and bureaucratic sabotage, Kendra sees an opportunity others missed: not to revive it, but to rebuild it from the ground up.
The Pegasus Project was supposed to launch humanity to the stars. Instead, it's become a corporate money pit mired in politics and failure. But when Kendra steps in to salvage it, she brings more than stubborn optimism. She brings allies, vision, and a relentless refusal to quit.
With her wife Aiyana and a handpicked team of misfits and miracle workers, Kendra takes the helm of the warp program, breathing new life into the ship now named Enterprise. But their success paints a target on their backs. The Solarian Union-the largest power in the system-sees their independence as a threat. Sabotage, subterfuge, and sudden violence follow.
The dream of peaceful exploration quickly turns into a fight for survival, and every diplomatic overture comes with a dagger in the dark. As enemies close in and secrets unravel, Kendra must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the people-and the ideals-she's built everything around.
One ship. One chance. One spark to light the stars.
Blending visionary science fiction, space politics, found family, and a dash of swashbuckling rebellion, The Road to the Stars charts the birth of a future worth fighting for.
