Shadows over Menkalinan
Kai Randal wants nothing more than to fly quietly, stay neutral, and keep his apprentice Parri out of trouble. But when a covert job in the Menkalinan system exposes them to a deadly secret-one older than any star chart-their quiet life fractures in an instant. A catastrophic test flight leaves dozens dead and one brilliant commander, Shreya Nova, desperate for the truth behind her husband's disappearance. Pulled together by disaster and circumstance, the three uncover evidence that the tragedy was no accident, and that someone powerful is willing to kill to keep the secret buried. Hunted, cornered, and caught between rival powers, Kai must rely on instincts honed over a lifetime in the cockpit, while Parri confronts dangers far beyond any training simulation. Shreya, armed with nothing but a broken heart and razor intelligence, finds herself caught in a conspiracy that could shift the balance between empires. The shadows gathering over Menkalinan are deep, and the truth hiding within them is older and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. The mission was supposed to be simple. Instead, it awakened something no one was prepared to face.Complete
