Dace only ever wanted one thing - the freedom to fly her trading ship wherever the stars call. But when her crew betrays her and strands her on a primitive planet, she must fight not only the natives who think she's a demon, but drug smugglers who think she's competition and the Patrol who want to arrest her. She has one hope of escaping the planet - find the Patrol agent hunting her and convince him she's innocent.

Flago sniffed. He stalked all four steps to the galley.
"Drydock, or I won't fly with you. This ship isn't safe." Jerith slapped my chair.
"Feel free to leave anytime." I turned back to the controls as he left the cockpit.
He muttered in the galley with Flago. I didn't care. Let them plot. When we made port, they were both getting off. Permanently.
My board erupted in red lights. Sirens screamed. Alarms shrilled. The ship shuddered violently. I froze for a split second before the Academy training kicked in. The autopilot flashed. We weren't at destination. The engine whined as the temperature shot up the scale. I flipped the board to manual control and slammed the hyperdrive shutdown switches initiating an emergency downshift. Lost and drifting in normal space beat the alternative which involved exploding.
The bubble of normal space generated by the hyperdrive collapsed. My vision blurred as three dimensional space twisted into seven. If we weren't close enough to a large gravity well, we were about to be smeared across the transect boundary of hyperspace.
The ship lurched and shook. The universe flipped right side out. I sucked in a breath. Every indicator glowed red when the sublight systems tried to boot.
Something in the engine room exploded with a loud bang. The ship started tumbling.
