Trust — Jean Davis

At long last, peace emerges from the bitter war that ravaged
the words of the Narvan. Anastassia Kazan brought about the
end to the fighting between Vayen Ta'set's homeworld of Artor
and their rival, Jal. When she offers Vayen a job on her team
of bodyguards, he leaps at the opportunity. He'll do anything
to keep Artor on the path to recovery.

Protecting the paranoid and mercurial woman whose deals
and threats keep everyone in line is a tough, thankless task.
One drunken night with Anastassia makes Vayen question
why he got the job and whether he should keep it. But no one
else on the team is willing to earn Anastassia's disfavor by
calling her out on her reckless choices. Reckless will get her
killed and send the Narvan back into chaos.

Not everyone is happy with Anastassia's changes on his
homeworld and beyond. She's also on less-than-friendly terms
with her deadly ex-partner. Then Vayen discovers that
Anastassia is only middle management. The Council she
works for has ambitious plans for the Narvan's military forces.

How much is Vayen willing to sacrifice to keep the Narvan at
peace?
