A Cage of Stars

She is a digital ghost from a dead world, reborn in the shell of a decadent princess. To find her way home, she must wield the forbidden science of her lost civilization, a power that makes her a threat to two warring star empires and a cosmic AI that enforces fate. Her path collides with a master strategist, a man who wages war on the mind itself and orchestrates galactic conflicts for a single prize: her. He ensnares her in a breathtaking game of intellect and obsession, where every move is a test and every alliance a trap. Caught between a desire for freedom and the pull of a love forged in deception, she must decide if his beautiful, star-spanning cage is a prison or her new destiny.
