Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo -- EXCERPT: “Great, Clee,” I said. “Job’s all yours. I’m going to bed.” Kenzi covered a snicker as Synie rolled her eyes. “Princess, you know the Yurilians will only talk to you.” I leaned back in my chair and stretched my neck. “Yeah, yeah.” Kenzi tilted his head at Synie. “Why will they only talk to the princess?” Synie shifted uncomfortably. “King Cepheus was….” She paused, searching for the right word. “A jerk,” Clee supplied unhelpfully. “Clee!” Synie barked. “That’s practically treason.” Clee shrugged. “Yep. But I already told him that to his face. He agreed with me.” Cepheus had a weak spot for Clee, as did we all; her tendency to tell the truth and lighten the mood at the same time was curiously refreshing. And she was right: Cepheus was a terrible diplomat. With another reproachful glare at Clee, who was no longer paying attention, Synie continued, “King Cepheus was less than sympathetic toward their grain dispute with us. Andromeda smoothed things over and managed to talk them down from outright war.” Kenzi’s eyes bugged. “They were going to declare war on us, just for some grain?” “Food is a common reason people go to war,” I said. “Or, rather, lack of it. When people starve, they feel they have nothing left to lose.” Perseus’s words came back to me: people who have nothing to lose, fear nothing. That was true on a global scale as well as a personal one, I supposed. Kenzi’s dark eyes turned to me and he gave me an awed smile. I really hated being an object of awe. I liked doing my job—a lot—and I loved helping people, but at heart, I was an introvert who wanted as little attention as possible. Just my luck, I got the most high-profile job in the galaxy. ![]()
