Mistress of Mayhem

In the chaotic fringes of the galaxy, where stars flicker weakly and trouble is a constant companion, Ophelia Knight commands the Mistress of Mayhem, a cutting-edge starship with a one-of-a-kind Ai. Her mission? To find her parents, who vanished under suspicious circumstances. Standing in her way are corporate forces that are trying not just to stop her, but to take her ship, her inheritance, and maybe even her life. Narrowly avoiding a crash landing on the planet Taidar, a haven of piracy, corruption, and dark dealings, Ophelia unwittingly acquires a battered slave named Jorian. Unknown to her, he is an experimental soldier with a dangerous secret. Together they embark on a journey of self-discovery, fraught with tension, lust, and anger, as they fight for survival. In a existence where trust is scarce and danger ever-present, survival will depend on the most fragile of things: their human connection. Together, they must confront the harsh truths of their reality or be consumed by the chaos surrounding them as they struggle to survive both Taidar - and each other.
