The Forbidden Voyage (Starbound Edict #1)

When a imprisoned miner volunteers for a one-way voyage to escape a dying planet, she never expects to become the empire’s most dangerous variable—or its most forbidden desire.

Gredie Vyraxi knows the stars weren’t meant for someone like her. Born beneath the crust of a penal world, she’s spent her life mining the empire’s future while being denied her own. But when the Kyryx Lottery grants her a single ticket off-world—“honored service” aboard an elite Juulan warship—she signs her name and seals her fate.
What awaits her aboard the SS Eros isn’t freedom. It’s surveillance. Silence. Steel. And a commander whose loyalty is legendary...and lethal.

Commander Dorgon Varyn is the law bred for obedience, armored in control. His warship runs on precision—until a human arrival begins to short-circuit the balance. She’s insubordinate, irreverent, and unshakably alive. The kind of anomaly that rewrites equations…and commandments.

As protocols falter and unseen forces stir within the ship, desire sparks in dangerous places. On a diplomatic mission to a world of prophecy and tides, fate and fire begin to entwine. Some edicts were never meant to be broken. Others were made to burn.
