They took her kingdom. She told them to keep it.
Eldaya was a child queen until an absurd revolution overthrew her dynasty. Now Elida is a smuggler, evading the farcical republic that wants her dead. When a frenemy claims to know where to find her long lost mother, Elida stages a rescue.
Former child queen Elida was driven from her throne at age ten and forced to wander the galaxy, evading the revolutionary forces that wanted her dead. When an old frenemy claims to know the whereabouts of Elida’s long-lost mother, she is forced to return to her former kingdom and stage a rescue.
Elida finds herself teaming up with an old frenemy to rescue her mother from political prison--but first, they have to stage the most daring break-in imaginable, past an impenetrable energy shield, in the middle of empty space, guarded by a battalion of the Republic's best troops.
