What can an honorable bear do when faced with a visitor hiding a secret?
How can she preserve her dignity aboard a starship full of cats and dogs?
Officer Grawf is the only Ursine serving in the Tri-Galactic Union—a solitary path among starships crewed by uplifted cats, dogs, and other Earth-born mammals. Her culture is strange to her crewmates, but Grawf has chosen this posting with purpose and pride.
In this double-feature adventure, follow Grawf as she struggles to balance the traditions of her people with the demands of life in deep space. In ‘The Trouble with a Glorious Legacy,’ Grawf must unravel the mystery of a visitor with a hidden past. In ‘Bravery Lessons,’ she faces a more personal challenge: teaching martial arts to Ensign Mewly, an anxious, hypochondriac cat with more nerves than coordination.
Stories of ritual, resilience, and finding belonging—across cultures, species, and star systems.
Genre: Science Fiction
