A FIERCE ALLEGIANCE

Book One of The Moirai Cycle

Mitsu R’Ikeda has spent years running from the life he was born into. He’s gotten very good at it.

These days, he captains the Moirai—a battered ship held together by questionable repairs, worse decisions, and a crew of outcasts who have somehow become his.

Then a routine job ends with Mitsu in Guardian custody, his past dragged back into the light, and a mission he was never supposed to survive.

At its center is the Gwydion: an ancient ship stranded in the black, surrounded by unanswered deaths and secrets powerful people would rather keep buried. Along for the ride are an Empath with secrets of his own and the former Guardian who helped put Mitsu in chains—neither of whom he trusts, both of whom may be as trapped as he is.

The farther the Moirai travels from home, the harder it becomes for Mitsu to outrun what he is, what was done to him, and what his crew has chosen to become.

Because allegiance can be demanded.

Loyalty has to be given.
