What to expect
A tale of a brave, battle-hardened soul, yet sensitive and melancholy, and the ghost ship that finds her to resurrect her spirit, this pair now isolated in deep space. She escaped the raging war on the surface, an officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, and found herself thrown into a much larger conflict, this time on a galactic scale. She finds herself cast in the middle of this war, with her morally conflicted thoughts, an old fighter jet, a space-going hyper-intelligent battlecruiser, and a holographically projected crew as her only allies. The old memories of her mother, and the tragedies that befell her, tug at her conscience and drive her psyche toward revenge but also to love. This is mythology, science fiction, historical fiction, war, and a love story all rolled into one. The rise of a true Goddess.
