Publisher's summary

Part one

The people of the planet Minyos are in revolt against their alien gods. This chaos is being stoked by the rogue god Omega, who longs to free himself from his black hole prison and wreak revenge. But brave Princess Malika, last of the Minyan royal family, is determined to fight back.

Part two

Princess Malika of Minyos has discovered that the politician Oxirgi is planning to release the rogue god Omega from his black hole prison. Framing Malika and sentencing her to death, Oxirgi is astonished when Malika is able to renew the damaged cells in her body and escape using a mechanical bird drone, vowing retribution...

Part three

Princess Malika of Minyos and her ragtag companions are desperate to prevent Oxirgi freeing the rogue god Omega from his black hole prison. But now Oxirgi has commandeered the planet’s mightiest starship and has turned the full force of its firepower against Malika’s craft...

Part four

Following the destruction of Minyos, the Princess Malika vows to avenge her people. With Omega imprisoned in a black hole and seemingly beyond her reach, does the answer lie on the exotic hunting world of Draktria?
