Caught in the crossfire of brotherly rivalry, a spaceship captain must risk her life to save an entire planet. Torn between her love for Prince Stephen and her love for her freelance career in space, Cassy lives her life in limbo. But when a madman hijacks her spaceship and burns all her valuable fuel, circumstances compel her to accept a job offer from Stephen. Her mission: Spy on his brother James. Going undercover on Prince James's spaceship, Cassy travels to a planet on the verge of collapse. James, in covert negotiations with the ruling president, offers a radical solution to their problems, but the details remain locked out of Cassy's reach. To discover them, she must delve deeper into the lives of the planet's desperate population. But the horror of what she finds becomes overshadowed when she reveals the terrifying truth about Prince James's future plans. Cassy must race across the galaxy and enlist the help of an old friend to stop a planetary disaster - unless James captures and kills her first.

Framed for an assassination she didn't commit, Cassy must prove her innocence to bring a life-saving technology back to her home planet. When freelance spaceship captain Cassy discovers an assassin at the wedding of her ex-lover Prince Stephen, she fights to wrench his rifle away. But a stray blast shoots into the royal party and kills Queen Triana. Knocked unconscious, Cassy wakes to find herself holding the murder weapon, the assassin gone, and a squad of guards who condemn her as guilty. Facing certain execution, Cassy breaks out of jail with Prince Stephen's help, and they escape together. Taking refuge in a secret underground lab, they learn of a forbidden technology hidden in a spaceship and sent beyond the rim of the galaxy. Retrieving it promises plentiful food for everyone, but the journey lies through a supposedly impenetrable barrier. Even if they achieve the impossible, they cannot return until they prove Cassy's innocence. So, they must infiltrate a dangerous rebel army on another world to unmask the real assassin.
