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.)

K: Consultation

The former King of Eks Corp didn't look like a man who had almost died a few days ago.

He did look irritated though.

Rafaela found herself staring at his familiar and yet unfamiliar face. He resembled his children, all three of them, in different ways. Brendan shared his coloration, but she thought that Kensa actually shared more of his facial structure. Lief had inherited the shape of his nose, and his eyes.

It was oddly fascinating. It was also completely irrelevant, except for the fact that it displayed the effects that a naturally occurring genetic mixture would probably have on her own child.

Regis spoke calmly, and the irritation vanished from his expression, but Rafaela felt oddly certain that it remained.

"Our best scientists are claiming that while the planet won't actually break apart, it may become virtually uninhabitable for decades, or perhaps even centuries," the former King informed them.
