Nev has just joined the crew of the starship Kaitan Heritage as the cargo loader. His captain, Qole, is the youngest-ever person to command her own ship, but she brooks no argument from her crew of orphans, fugitives, and con men. Nev can’t resist her, even if her ship is an antique.
As for Nev, he’s a prince, in hiding on the ship. He believes Qole holds the key to changing galactic civilization, and when her cooperation proves difficult to obtain, Nev resolves to get her to his home planet by any means necessary.
But before they know it, a rival royal family is after Qole too, and they’re more interested in stealing her abilities than in keeping her alive.
Nev’s mission to manipulate Qole becomes one to save her, and to survive, she’ll have to trust her would-be kidnapper. He may be royalty, but Qole is discovering a deep reservoir of power—and stars have mercy on whoever tries to hurt her ship or her crew.

Author
Michael Miller
Raised off-grid in Alaska, Michael spent long winter nights reading by kerosene lamp and as much time in imaginary worlds as in the real one. Weaned on Tolkien, Russian fairy tales and Laura Ingalls Wilder, he started a periodical newspaper with his brother to keep friends informed of life in the woods. The introduction of solar power and a Powerbook changed everything – his writing, and his career. He now works as an Apple Consultant and web developer. He lives in Alaska with his fabulous wife and magical child, spending part of the winter as a vagabond elsewhere on the planet. Shadow Run, coauthored with AdriAnne Strickland, is his first novel. You can find him online at http://michaelmiller.website, or failing at social media on both Facebook (facebook.com/michaemillerwrites) and Twitter (@begemotike).
