Provenance

Ingray Aughskold thinks one bold act will secure the future she wants: recover the artifacts that matter most to her people, prove her worth, and finally step out from under everyone else’s judgment. But the prison rescue she stakes everything on opens into something far larger, and far more dangerous, as family ambition, political upheaval, and interstellar pressure begin colliding at once. Sharp, intelligent, and quietly thrilling, this is science fiction built as much on power, status, and inheritance as on ships and distant worlds.
