Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vengeance is a dish best served cold. On the far side of the galaxy, in the distant future, is the Cluster—a collection of stars and worlds where life flourishes. Humans, refugees from their lost Ancient Earth, coexist with other peoples like the tribal Feles, the elite Kavki, and the distant Ekri. A human woman arrives on a remote asteroid prison. Unlike the other convicts, she is fascinating, defiant, and unbowed, earning the respect and hatred of guards and prisoners alike. Her name, hidden from all, is Mercedes Solari, Duchess of the planet New Dubai. Forced from her throne and banished for life, the galaxy now thinks her dead. But Mercedes has no intention of going quietly into that good night. When a chance encounter frees Mercedes from her prison, it sets her on a path of revenge. Changed by a decade of wear and backed by the money and influence of her new patron, she bends all her wits to a single task—the destruction of her enemies and the reclamation of her home and title. Whatever the cost. Filled with spine-tingling action, vicious political intrigue, and a starcruiser full of petty and beguiling characters alike, Starborn Vendetta is a triumph of galactic proportions. Buckle your harness and prepare for launch—the Cluster awaits.

Book excerpt: Somebody had nailed Moke Rahone to his Desk. . . . Moke Rahone’d been human, and someone had butchered him open. It was dainty-like. Real bodysnatcher work, done with something sharp—something that didn’t burn like a pocket laser or chew up the meat like a vibro. And there was one other thing. It was sticking up out of Rahone’s insides and it hadn’t been part of his original manifest. It might tell me who killed him, and who might be interested in taking over the cargo I had for him. I pulled off my glove and yanked out the optional extra somebody’d left with Brother Rahone. What I got for my trouble was long and thin, pointed at one end and with feathers at the other. It was mostly red, but where it was dry it was a kind of blue animal bone with carving on it. I’d seen bone like that before. Hellflower work! I’d just shut the door on the inner room behind me when the outer door opened. The hellflower standing there wasn’t Tiggy, but he looked real pleased to see me anyway. “Ea, higna,” the hellflower said. Then he went for his heat. . . .

Book excerpt: Then I knew...something was glowing. There was something glowing in the darkness with the force of a star. I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. The glowing seemed to be coming from some point next to me or near me, but when I looked down, I saw that it was simply me. I was glowing. Silver. My favorite color. The glow was dimming, though, with each passing second and I saw the reason why. Small specks of the silver glow were floating off to be in the darkness. Instead of just the black of night, now it seemed as though we were in the starry sky. Thick with glowing, silver stars and whipping, raging wind. Phoenix's seemingly blind eyes focused on mine. "Your power reacts with darkness. Starlight, you hold the power of the Stars within you. Now I see. I understand where that enormous power comes from." The darkness faded and his eyes slowly turned crimson again. The silver specks disappeared last. "You are not just a StarChild. You are StarBorn." I let my wind fade. "StarBorn?" A small nod. "StarBorn. It is a baby that is born with the ability to control the stars." The path to the Sacred Tree turns dangerous in this action-packed sequel to The Journey of the StarChildren. Will they make it to the Sacred Tree? What will happen when they do? Will Starlight find happiness at home?
