The Art of Piracy

Book two, of a True Artist. Regret is not something a spy and assassin should experience. But Callie has a lot of regrets. She helped start a war, betrayed her friends, and fled instead of taking responsibility. Well, she tried to stop the war, but failed, so there is that, at least. Frustrated with herself, and lacking purpose, she takes a cargo ship to the vast territory of the Tallax. On route, pirates confront Callie's cargo ship as it travels next to a series of dead worlds and their star systems. With a boatload of pent up frustration, she turns all of her displeasure onto the pirates and their allies.
