It was supposed to be a vacation. Instead, they’re running for their lives.

Decades ago, a brutal civil war on Bythia deposed the corrupt royal family. Its members died in the fighting or faced Bythian justice…all but an innocent teenage girl.

Devastating wartime choices compelled mercenary leader Veraz to rethink his life. Smuggling the Bythian princess off-planet and hiding her in a rundown circus, hoping she would remain hidden forever, was his last act in the uprising.

Unfortunately, some members of Bythian security still thirst for revenge.

Now the princess and her daughter are fleeing their mock justice. Anwyn, Mark, and Rehan vow to protect the duo but have no backup.

Anwyn’s plan is simple: Hide in the wilderness park where they took the circus teens for a camping trip. Except there are worse things in the wilderness than near bears and lizard-wolves.

Can the mercenaries thwart their attackers, or will the park become their bloody grave?
