STARFIRE ASCENDING
A sci-fi romance of duty, danger, and choosing your own destiny
Princess by birth. Leader by choice.
When the empire needs her most, Regina Griwaldy steps out of the shadows—and into a role no one believes she’s ready to claim.
Hidden behind the title of ‘imperial daughter’ is a woman trained for command, hardened by loss, and determined to serve rather than inherit. But when a deadly threat exposes cracks in the Empire’s defenses, Regina must prove she belongs in the stars…not on a ceremonial pedestal.
Her greatest ally is the one man sworn to protect her—Dresnick, a battle-worn officer with secrets of his own and a loyalty that runs deeper than command. As danger closes in, trust becomes more than strategy. It becomes everything.
Because in space, power is inherited.
But leadership is earned.
And love may be the most dangerous risk of all.
