A soldier. A princess. A war between interstellar powers. A chance to end all the fighting at the cost of one life.
Marcus holds no illusions about the things he has done for his government, nor any doubts - until he meets Rin. The last of her royal line, she should hate the Commonwealth for destroying her family, should fear the consequences of her impulsive decisions but she is brazen and carefree instead. She is the one anomaly in the war he has been fighting all his life, an anomaly he can't get out of his thoughts. And now he has to kill her.

Let the galaxy burn.

Approx. 78000 words Also available for download at Smashwords (www.smashwords.com/books/view/929789 Background: When I was 12, I started reading a book that alludes me now, but I would love to remember what it was! There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.Complete
