Chain of Starlight (Paperback or Softback)

She once called them family. When they turn against her, is there any corner of space dark enough to hide from their vengeance?

Jonica Desoll is sick of the bloodshed. With her planet-hopping pirate companions growing increasingly violent, the determined woman gambles her life and listens to the strange voice in her head urging her to flee. But her bid for freedom comes with no guarantee of success when she steals her captain's favorite ship...

Pursued across the galaxy by her former crew, Jonica takes a risky job to earn money for the resources she needs to get away for good. But even teamed up with the psychic cat-shaped creature who first encouraged her to run, dodging the host of bounty hunters, revenge-seekers, and alien agents after them may make survival a near-impossible mission.

Can Jonica zero in on her target before she's killed by the hunt?
