Daphne Blazefire isn’t picky about jobs—she can’t afford to be. So when she’s offered a delivery that pays enough to wipe out her debts, she jumps at the chance. All she has to do is haul a small package to a destination she’s never visited. Easy.
Until it isn’t.
From the moment the cargo is loaded, Daphne is given strict orders to avoid the authorities, a warning that sets her nerves on edge. By the first waypoint, her unease turns to dread. The package is drawing the attention of mobsters, the military, and dangerous players who all want what she’s carrying. Every leg of the journey feels like a trap, and every ambush makes it clear—this delivery may be her last.
With only her loyal robot companion, RUSTY, at her side, Daphne must navigate a gauntlet of enemies, unravel the truth about the client who hired her, and decide how far she’s willing to go to survive. Along the way, she’s forced to take on burdens she never expected—like protecting a mother and daughter bound for slavery on a brutal world.
She thought she was delivering a package. Instead, she’s carrying the future of lives far more valuable than her payday.
Perfect for fans of Firefly and The Expanse, this fast-paced sci-fi adventure blends high-stakes action with heart, loyalty, and the courage to fight back when the galaxy stacks the odds against you.
