The Marakova Deception

Circumstances have forced sixteen-year-old Gil Vichezny to leave Par and search for the father she’s never met, or even wanted to. She knows nothing about him except he was once Captain Halford Avers, dishonourably discharged from Space Force and now a notorious space pirate called the Phantom, with a huge price on his head.
Disguised as a boy, with forged ID, Gil starts her journey as purser’s clerk on the Marakova, a merchant space vessel rumoured to deal in contraband and owned by the Cortez family. But from day one she makes a vicious enemy of Moses, one of the Cortez sons, and barely survives by her wits and combat training.
When the Marakova is hijacked by the Phantom and his crew, Gil finally confronts her father, but it is not the reunion she imagined.
