The Princess and the Pirate
(2026)(The first book in the Starchaser Novella series)
A Story by Renee Dugan
A diplomatic mission gone awry. A fallen ally. One chance to save her family.
When a beloved friend is struck down escorting Cistine to a Stornhaz by a stranger seeking one of the Stor Sedam, the Princess has a choice: leave the six most powerful augments untouched, or risk duty and destiny to save someone she cannot afford to lose.
Pitting their wits against swashbuckling foes, Cistine and Maleck embark on a quest to the legendary, pirate-ruled Wild Islands for a chance to thwart ruthless fate—and to find a secret power guarded by someone who would kill to keep its secret safe. Meanwhile, the grief-stricken cabal faces down their own specters while they fight to keep their last hope from slipping away.
Racing against time, the cabal begins down a road that will test their resolve, their courage, and their fates—a choice from which they can never turn back.
