Cinderella's Spaceship

Rafaela grew up in the Cinder Sector of the outer belts, an isolated region that her step mother and step sisters can't bear. She's eligible to enter the Prince's race, if she can get her mother's old scout ship repaired in time, but she also needs to discover what her mother really left behind. Prince Brendan needs to catch a bride that he can trust. He was born with Corporate records written into his genes in a Solar System brewing with political strife. He bets his future on a race, but will he find out what this Cinder girl's family is tangled up in? With interstellar travel still confined below the speed of light, the vast majority of humanity now carries the extra pair of chromosomes packed with an inheritance of genetic memories. Those who don't carry the extra genes have been disregarded for centuries. Humanity needs to let go of the past in order to expand their future. Will a young woman, a young man, and a dragon be able to forge a brighter future between two stars? Cover redesigned by Bloom759, face based off Artflow.ai generation. --- On hold because I'm getting the shattered shunt removed finally! (The list of possible complications is a bit scary, but not compared to living with my brain fluid leaking out.)

D: Forever

Corso Donatella had not quite expected to ever wake up again when he had let the medical unit put him to sleep. 

It had seemed like the best bet out of his remaining options after SkyWater's freighter had been destroyed. Losing their final shipment from the Cinder Sector wouldn't quite be enough to destroy the corporation he had built, but it would set them back heavily. 

Losing him would have ended SkyWater a few years ago. But if Elektra could learn to cooperate with Rafaela, he would bet on the two of them being able to succeed in sustaining the corporation, despite its losses.

The massive impact had hit them, without any warning alarms having gone off, and destroyed SkyWater's final shipment of water from the Cinder Sector. At first Corso had assumed that one of the rival Corporations, that had taken down the Donatella family's previous holdings, had finally targeted him in a more direct fashion. It was nearly a decade after their last indirect attempt.
