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.)

P: Linked Circles

Adrian groaned dramatically as he studied the diagrams of communication hardware that had probably already been in use a century ago. A standard Eks Corp Security module lay disassembled across the table.

Brendan grinned at his friend's dismay without holding back. Adrian's surprise was another type of proof that his friend had never been deeply involved with any of the biggest corporations on a level where he'd have dealt directly with their security systems. Seeing more proof of just how ridiculous some of his suspicions had been could only lighten his mood further.

Adrian pulled up completely different specifications on another screen, for systems that were more familiar to both of them, because they were current spacecraft modules. Brendan watched curiously as he swapped back and forth without explaining what he was looking at.
