SPSFC 2024

Zenya Cobb has had enough of a traditional life with her husband-to-be, Pavell. She returns to her life as a space pirate, setting out to find and claim as much gold and other treasures as she can. Except, due to a freak accident, she crash-lands on a planet that shouldn’t exist – The mythical lost planet of Vunerth, reputed to have been the galaxy’s richest spot until an asteroid destroyed it many years ago. But it’s still very much around, and holds more secrets than even Zenya can imagine. She meets the mysterious natives, a peaceful alien community of traders with their own secrets, and hears whispers of conspiracy. Could Vunerth’s disappearance be part of a web of darkness perpetuated by the government? While Zenya reels, her determined partner, Pavell chases her across the galaxy. But when they are reunited, they must make a choice. Leave this bizarre planet in their past and return to a life of peace, or risk their lives teaming up with the natives to save the planet and expose an intergalactic lie?
