When the princess of the technologically advanced Human Empire is kidnapped by an agent of the Mystic religion, they're forced to turn to the last person they'd ever expected to ask for help: Drake Ashbell, a snarky pirate who has a problem with authority, and a dark secret.

When he's pulled into the conflict, Drake finds himself caught up in a fast-paced adventure that will take him to distant worlds, make him face his tragic past, and test the limits of his soul.
