A new galaxy. A powerful alien empire. Danger on uncharted worlds. Captain Mera of the Frontier Destiny has never had so much work cut out for her

Mera and the Frontier crew are intergalactic train robbers. Deep space freight lines make for lucrative targets if you're quick enough to avoid the law. But when the Frontier awaits its latest target, the crew is surprised to see an unknown alien craft instead of a train. Never one to pass up an opportunity, Mera investigates it, sure she'll find fabulous riches aboard the lavish (and oh so derelict ) ship. When she finds a runaway alien princess instead, her entire world capsizes in an instant Now, she and her crew are trapped in the Andromeda Galaxy, crashed on an uninhabited planet, and pursued by the royal guards of a kingdom bent on recovering its wayward princess.

Valle is the heir to an inconceivably vast and powerful empire. Now she's fleeing its despot king and a life she doesn't want, as part of a rigid and ruthless caste system. Her chance encounter with Captain Mera has changed everything. Thrown together into a desperate situation, she must somehow convince the pirates not to return her to the kingdom for an immense reward that awaits them.

Mera represents everything the princess wishes for: Freedom, confidence, and family. Valle embodies everything the pirate hates: Untouchable wealth, tyranny, and power. Separated from her crew, Mera must find a way to cooperate with the spoiled princess... And maybe realize they have more in common than she ever thought possible. As their bond grows, Mera begins to realize that some riches can't be counted in coins and gems. Even if she finds a way back to her own galaxy, can she leave behind the treasure she's found?

The crew of the Frontier Destiny has been in some tight spots. They're a family and come together to face any challenge. Now their greatest test comes not in the form of a traitorous king, a ruined city full of killer creatures, or finding away across the incalculable distance between galaxies, but in the form of divided loyalties. The newcomer threatens to upset their chemistry, as Mera finds herself torn between plunder and the princess. They must find their way through a galaxy full of new dangers back to the lives they know, or be stranded in the middle of a divided kingdom as their own house crumbles.
