Pirate War — Carysa Locke

A tide of war has risen across the galaxy, with the Alpha Queen's forces seemingly everywhere. Without the monarchy to lead, the Commonwealth has fallen to individual factions and planets, each fighting desperately to survive. Mercy and her pirates are all that is keeping the galaxy from falling under Fareena's control. Their only hope is to somehow restore order, and the monarchy. But no one in the Commonwealth wants to listen to a pirate Queen, and the last heir to the royal line of Ashir is working for the enemy. As planets slowly fall to Fareena, Mercy and her allies struggle to unite what remains of the Commonwealth. Worse, the true depths of Fareena's plan for humanity is about to be unveiled, and if Mercy can't succeed in stopping it, there won't be a galaxy left to save.
