A tough-as-nails space mercenary faces down a quest to save the universe, armed with only her magical luck dagger and her biggest fan/best friend as backup!

Becstar is a star-hopping mercenary-turned-full-time-gambler light years away from Earth. Leaving her old life behind with the help of her magical luck dagger and her fan-turned-regret-filled friend Sally Soolin, Becstar ekes out a living under the nefarious Shadowy Syndicate’s radar.

But when a mysterious girl appears with grim news and an urgent quest where the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, Becstar has no choice but to join … and regret it immediately.
