While Vespa is vacationing on the Kavil moon to celebrate her graduation, alien terrorists attack. Her impulsive decision to fight back helps thwart the initial Orkan assault, but also strains the previously deep bond with her father. Vespa must bear the consequences of her actions while the government of her home planet, Prime, struggles to comprehend the implications of the strike. Relations with their longtime trade partners are further challenged by the arrival of a military task force from the Protectorate—human colonists who had left Prime centuries ago and who bring a far different perspective on the Orkan’s intentions.
Vespa enlists into an elite military unit training spaceblade pilots to defend her planet. But she can’t do it alone—success will take teamwork. With the lives of her family and friends at stake, she must sort allies from enemies and repair her relationship with her father before it is too late. When outright war erupts on the Kavil moon, another fateful choice may be inevitable.
WYNDE combines contemporary themes, military science fiction, fantasy, and romance into a sweeping space epic that launches the adventures of the next great heroine.
