Shadows in the Stone

Shadows in the Stars, Book 3

The bigger the score, the harder the fall.

Legend tells of a sword that makes a warrior’s enemies fall to their knees in surrender. Sheni isn’t sure if he believes the drunken ramblings of old space pirates, but what he does know is that a sword like that would fetch an eye-watering price.

Unfortunately, the trail leads them from ancient temples to prison planets, and retrieving the sword from its final resting place might cost the crew more than they’re willing to pay. Especially since someone on board the Silver Hart is keeping a secret with deadly implications....

This could be the heist that finally makes them millionaires. They just need to survive rival raiders, corrupt prison wardens, and reanimated corpses first....

Fans of Terry Pratchett and Becky Chambers will love this thrilling adventure from the author of the bestselling Final Dawn series. Expect explosive action and sharp-tongued anti-heroes in a Sci-Fi universe rich with imagination.
