Crownchasers - Paperback

A deadly race across 1,001 planets will determine more than just the fate of the empire.

This explosive first book in a duology jam-packed with tension and thrills is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Aurora Rising, and Three Dark Crowns.

Alyssa Farshot has spent her whole life trying to outrun her family legacy, even leaving behind the Kingship and her uncle, the emperor, for a life of exploring.

But when her dying uncle announces a crownchase--a search for the royal seal hidden in the empire that will determine the next ruler--Alyssa is thrust into her greatest, most dangerous adventure yet.

She's got a scrappy ship, a smart-mouthed engineer, and a galaxy of rivals who want her dead.

• Reluctant Hero: Alyssa Farshot would rather be exploring forgotten planets than competing for a crown, but her uncle's dying wish leaves her no choice.
• Deadly Competition: A galactic treasure hunt for the royal seal pits Alyssa against the ruthless heirs of the empire's most powerful families.
• Found Family: With only her wisecracking engineer, Hell Monkey, at her back, Alyssa must navigate a universe of enemies where trust is the most dangerous gamble.
• Space Opera Adventure: Blast through hyperspace, outrun assassins, and uncover ancient secrets in a fast-paced journey across a thousand and one worlds.
