An Exile Amid Stars

A NOBLE HEART IN A TRAITOR'S SKINFor nearly ten years, Surela Rel Silin Eddings has been plying the galactic waters on the merchant vessel Earthrise, picking up sundries for the home system from which she remains exiled… and enjoying herself despite it. How else, with a congenial crew, dozens of worlds to explore, and so many things to learn? Most days, she can even forget she's a criminal to her own people, and that's the way she likes it. The last thing Surela wants is a new mission… particularly one that involves haring off into the unknown reaches of space in search of an Eldritch from a House predisposed to hate her for her misdeeds. But the Empress has decided one of the Eldritch's waywards needs to come home, and Surela's the woman to fetch her.As usual, nothing goes as planned…
