Omega Shadows

An Omega shuttle should have been impossible.
The war is over. The Alliance has fallen. The Confederation rules what remains, and Selaynia survives in the shadows of a rebellion that still does not fully trust her.
Then a battered black Omega shuttle is found drifting near Melpomene Mining Station.
For Selaynia, the shuttle is more than a relic of a dead intelligence force. It carries the mark of Conrad Nolan, her former commander, her mentor, and the man she once shot to prove her loyalty to the enemy.
When the shuttle pulls Selaynia and her Canthralian wolf companions, Shadowmist and Smokeshadow, across space to a hidden moon called Omega Shadows, she finds survivors gathering around an impossible hope: a safe haven beyond the Confederation’s reach.
But something unseen watches from the edges of the world. Something telepathic. Something powerful. Something that may be the reason the Confederation fears this system.
To learn whether Omega Shadows is sanctuary or trap, Selaynia must reach into an alien presence unlike anything she has known, and face the ghosts of loyalty, betrayal, and survival that still follow her.
