When Captain Dace crash lands on a primitive planet, She finds herself on the run from villagers who are sure she’s a demon, and the Space patrol who’s sure she’s one of the bad guys. Accused of stealing her own ship, facing death (or worse) at the hands of those who should be rescuing her, she must find not only some way to survive, but also escape. Unfortunately, the world has other plans.

“The soldiers untied me just enough to get me off the horse. The shoved me into an iron cage set under a flat root on the far side of the square. I fell in a heap, unable to move because of the rope still wound around me. The cage slammed shut. I curled up in the straw at the bottom and pretended to be somewhere far away. Even the orphanage was better than this.

“The soldiers taunted me, jabbing me with sticks. I hunched into a tighter ball. They gave up when I didn’t respond. Blood caked on a dozen different scratches. I smelled like a garbage dump. The taste of the gag turned my stomach and dried my mouth. The ropes pinched and rubbed my skin raw. All of that paled as I watched the villagers pile wood. They were going to burn me alive. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to block out the
horrible sight.”
