She’s the empire’s secret weapon, but her secrets could bring down the regime. All he has to do is get out of her handcuffs and into her mind to unlock them.
When surprise alien attacks left Treska Sivekka’s body battered and her mind a blank slate, the regime that rose from the ashes gave her an identity and purpose she could believe in. Vice Hunters like Treska seek out the threats to the Union’s security. Psypaths like Micah Ariesis are her primary targets and the Union’s biggest threats. But now that she’s got him in her handcuffs and every scumbag in the star system is after them both, her target may be the only one she can trust.
The Union promised security to terrified citizens in exchange for order and obedience, but psypaths like Micah and his allies, the near-human Hathori people, became scapegoats for inexplicable devastation…and then rebels against the repressive regime. Micah has one last chance to strike at the heart of the Union that hunted his kind to near-extinction–the Huntress ready to deliver him to its deepest prison. The secrets locked in Treska’s missing memories can bring down the Union–if he can get out of her handcuffs and into her mind.
Huntress of the Star Empire, Part One: The chase
Treska Sivekka is the Huntress–the Union’s most skilled bounty hunter.
Her targets? The psypaths whose mental talents summoned aliens attacks on the capital planet that left her body shattered and her mind a blank slate.
Now the last free psypath is in her crosshairs…if only he weren’t her one chance at restoring her lost memories.
The alien attacks came out of nowhere and left the entire system reeling, but the aftermath caused twice as much destruction to the old social orders as psypaths like Micah Ariesis and near-humans like the Hathori became scapegoats for an inexplicable devastation…and then rebels against the repressive, reactionary government that rose from the ashes.
The last psypath has one chance at victory for the rebellion…but it’s the Huntress who holds the key.
