//This is a beta draft as I work through the story//
  Blinded and broken, Rusti Woods thought she'd hit rock bottom. The stars proved her wrong. Once a soldier, always a survivor, Rusti awakens on an alien slave ship where her life is bought and sold with the snap of a finger. Stripped of her voice and vision, her humanity becomes her last weapon. When purchased by a fellow Earthling named Eli, she's thrust into a deadly new world aboard his ship, The Avalon. Here, Rusti must contend with more than her new master's cruelty. Among his gladiators is Vor, an alien fighter who has forgotten how to hope, and Kenzie, a human doctor whose kindness hides her own chains. As Rusti claws for a foothold in this ruthless galaxy, she begins to unravel not just the mystery of her circumstance, but the secrets buried in the hearts of those around her.
