Kivita thinks of herself as just another down-on-her-luck scavenger, taking whatever jobs she needs to keep herself in alcohol and her ship running. What she doesn't know is her newest employers picked her for a very specific reason, and finding the gemstone they want will unleash abilities she never knew she had. More than just a space opera adventure, this debut folds in elements of romance, galaxy-spanning worldbuilding, and suspense as Kivita and her crew hunt for the gem and then attempt to evade multiple entities who want to control both Kivita and the gem.
VERDICT Suggest to readers who enjoy lighter space operas such as those by Jody Lynn Nye or Elizabeth Moon.
