YA
In the months since intergalactic Prince Nev helped spaceship captain Qole escape experimentation--and got himself exiled--they've grown closer. However, new priorities emerge when Qole finds herself at the forefront of her home planet's rebellion and Nev's ruthless sister Solara takes over the throne. This sequel to Shadow Run drags at times but continues the series' considered exploration of the struggles of colonized people.

YA
Disguised Prince Nev joins the crew of spaceship Kaitan Heritage, which is fishing for a cosmic energy source called Shadow. Nev secretly hopes to make a deal with the talented young captain, Qole; his royal family wants to study her inherent affinity for Shadow in hopes of improving life throughout the system. Told in not-always-distinct dual narratives, the political space story thoughtfully addresses issues faced by colonized people.
