The Stuff of Legend

Ptorix Empire Book 5



Some Legends aren't stories - they're clues

When history professor Olivia Jhutta learns her parents have vanished somewhere in space, she leaves her quiet academic life behind and follows a trail shaped by legend.

Her search brings together an unlikely crew: a sharp-eyed business partner, her formidable grandmother, and Admiral Jak Prentiss — injured, on enforced leave, and convinced the journey is an academic wild goose chase.

But the deeper they travel, the more the old stories begin to look like clues. As danger closes in and mistrust gives way to respect, Olivia and Jak discover that some legends may be more than myth — and some choices may change both their hearts and the wider universe.
