Legend tells of a sword that makes a warrior’s enemies fall to their knees in surrender. Sheni isn’t sure if he believes the drunken ramblings of old space pirates, but what he does know is that a sword like that would fetch an eye-watering price. Unfortunately, the trail leads them from ancient temples to prison planets, and retrieving the sword from its final resting place might cost the crew more than they’re willing to pay. Especially since someone on board the Silver Hart is keeping a secret with deadly implications....

Cast out by humanity yet burdened with a conscience, Sheni Dupont wouldn’t say he’s found his calling in space piracy. But in the cramped and rusty halls of the ship he shares with reptilian captain Gecki, starfish pilot Xotl and the weird green enigma known only as Alan, he may have found a home. So when a loan shark threatens to repossess their ship if they don’t pay back the credits they’ve borrowed, the crew of the Silver Hart are forced to take the only job going–stealing a crystal egg from a backwater planet on the brink of cosmic destruction.

Sheni and his spacer crew only steal from people who don’t deserve what they’ve got. Unfortunately, a penthouse robbery puts them in hot water with a crooked art dealer who loves nothing more than a high-stakes hunt. If they don’t cough up a small fortune, their heads will be the next trophies on her wall.
