Grade A space opera in the Liaden universe!
All her life, Aelliana Caylon has lived by the rules of her overbearing brother, the head of the Caylon family. Though she is a brilliant mathematician, he has convinced her that she has no worth beyond what value she might have in an arranged marriage. Then on a dare, she playes a game of cards--and wins a starship. It is her way to escape her home, her planet, her drab life--if she can qualify as a pilot.
Enter the accomplished Scout and Master Pilot known only as Daav. Aelliana hires him as her instructor. She finds him a gifted teacher. He finds her a quick study. And then they find an unexpected attraction, one that could have dangerous repercussions for them both . . .
