Solara is desperate to get off Earth. With her past mistakes literally written on her hands, she has no future here. If she can get to the outer realms she’s sure she can make her way based on her wit and skills. Unfortunately for Solara it takes money to book passage on a spaceliner – money she doesn’t have. She needs someone to hire her as a servant for the voyage. With almost all the passengers aboard her last hope comes in the shape of the worst person possible, Doran Spaulding. A super rich, super popular, super jerk guy from her school. He, with great glee, agrees to take Solara as his servant just so he can humiliate her. But, the journey doesn’t go as planned for either of them. Backed into a corner, Solara makes a split second decision that lands the two of them on the spaceship Banshee, pursued by half the galaxy and with a crew full of their own secrets. Starflight is a SUPER fun space adventure!! It has secrets, double crosses, space pirates, chases, an exiled princess, a sweet little sugar glider and a bit of romance.
