Delphic Dame

No one warned her about the alien baby. Captain Cherry Pendit is a very improper oracle. A proper seer warns the hero, then retires to the luxury of her temple while the hero saves the day. Pfft. Boring. Cherry doesn't need a hero to defy fate. In fact, she intends to rescue the hero. There might be a few bumps along the way-like an entire alien species her oracular talent didn't warn her about-but Captain Cherry Pendit of the Delphic Dame is prepared to adapt and overcome. If only the pirates, the good guys-who might be bad guys-and her allies would just stop freaking interfering by pushing their own stupid agendas. Don't they realize that if Cherry fails, humanity is doomed? Salvage is the first book in the Delphic Dame space opera trilogy. It picks up Cherry's story three years after Nora's disruption of Human Sector society in the Adventures of a Xeno-Archaeologist series.

A fate-defying chase across the universe. Fate is a tricky witch. On the run across federation space, Cherry has stuffed far too many dangerous secrets into her scout ship. Now, the Delphic Dame is the most hunted spaceship in the universe. It may also be the only force in the universe capable of saving humanity. Cherry just has to stay one step ahead of her enemies-and, maybe, of her allies.

If Cherry was a selfish witch, she'd keep running. She's an oracle. She knows that trouble is closing in. However, there's an instant in which she could escape, and so could those she loves. Too bad she's surrounded herself with ridiculously noble allies. The kind of self-sacrificing, kind, clever, and resolute people who force you to love them… then go off to risk their lives for the greater good. Of course, Cherry has to rescue them. And if she's rescuing those she loves, maybe she could save everyone else along the way. Shield is the third and final unmissable book in The Delphic Dame trilogy. You won't guess the ending!
