A Soul Divided

All seems lost when Olivia, princess of the space-faring Human Empire, is taken captive by a powerful new agent of the Mystic Empire. Her only chance at survival comes from the most unlikely of sources: the Mystics themselves.

Drake Ashbell will forever avoid returning to his roots as the prince of the Mystics, especially after being exiled because of his use of forbidden magic. But was it really his fault that it had ended with him murdering thousands of innocents? Technically yes. Even so, he’s satisfied with his new and nearly honorable life pirating through space. Until his pirating escapades lead him to a train car full of captive women. He is no rescuing hero but reluctantly takes on the job when things turn personal and when “personal” turns royal. Little does he know, triumphing over galactic threats will require more than confronting his tragic past with forbidden magic; it will test the limits of his soul.
