Fugitive’s Trust (A Ship Called Hope Book 1)

Description

Vharkylia, the nation of the wolf-like vykati, isn’t exactly well trusted by the other nations of Terah. Their culture is different and sometimes, at least from a human point of view, violent and uncaring. The people of Vharkylia tend to view the human nations in a similar fashion. Eventually, events will take place that put all the races native to that world into the metaphorical crucible. In the forges of war, they’ll unite against a common enemy and at least have a chance of succeeding.

There’re a few larger than life people from that era—people that bring the world together. None quite so famous as the Pirate Queen, Lady Sajani Adida—a she-wolf from whom Fate made and continues to make many great demands. Her efforts give the world hope that perhaps they can win against a technologically superior enemy.

Her rise to that position in history is an important story and it’s told here.

Before she rose to be the pirate queen of Terah, Sajani was a rather selfish and uncaring petty criminal. Sent to Rhidayar to go to school, the fifteen year old wants nothing more than to return home to her friends and continue her shadowy lifestyle.

When the chance presents itself, she takes up with an escaped vykati slave and tries to make her way back to Drtithen. What should be a difficult trip quickly turns deadly when the human nation not only mounts an all out assault on the young pair, but also begins to prepare to go to war with Vharkylia.
