Incendium

Viggo, an Estere orphan from the planet of Holdor, was just a young boy when the Sovereign Planets enlisted him to the Intergalactic Federation Academy. After thirty-six seasons as a Federation Soldier, Viggo is captain of his own vessel, the Daveer, but wants nothing more than to cut ties with the government that stole his childhood and continues to lie to its people.

Zajra, born on Sheol, is what the Estere call Halvt. Mixed blood. Her mother, half Loron, found her fate intertwined with Zajra's Estere father. After burning down the North Wing of the Academy in Skahean, Zajra was taken in by the Intergalactic Federation Academy because she showed linguistic promise. Loyal to the Federation and the Sovereign Planets after they took her in when no one else would, Zajra hates the Estere in her blood and will do anything to keep from following her father's traitorous footsteps.

Yet, Viggo's past remains a mystery to him. One that the Federation and Sovereign Planets Council have long been hiding. With a new outbreak of a lethal drug called Incendium, the truth threatens to catch fire. Viggo finds himself on the other side of a line he never thought he would cross, and despite everything, Zajra finds herself ready to do anything to help him.
