The Princess Key - Rick Clogston

Things to do today:

- Kill our master

- Steal one of his ships

- Outrun the Qaalamite Consortium

- Get to Association Space

- Stay alive

When former spoiled-little-rich-girl Lisa Allen (Human) and former slave, whore, thief, and hacker turned faster-than-lightspeed pilot Za'cijimaa a.k.a. Ciji (Dholamite) escape from their unimaginably brutal Varnian overlord and start new lives on The Hague space station, they need to culturally adapt and make connections with more bizarre aliens than they ever imagined-even as they find themselves embroiled in deep political intrigue.

Action meets romance in this fast-paced interstellar adventure. Unknowingly, Lisa herself possesses a secret key to creating peace amongst all the factions. But will she and Ciji be able to put the wounds from their past behind them so they can empower themselves and others in the new lives they have chosen?
