Top notch space opera by the author of the Honor Harrington series.
Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop them. It seemed that the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But the pirates made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home world, tortured and murdered her family, and then left HER for dead.
After the death of all she holds dear, Alicia decides to turn 'pirate' herself, and she steals a cutting-edge AI ship from the Empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's crazy, the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders, and (of course) the pirates really want her dead. But Alicia DeVries has two allies nobody knows about, allies as implacable as she herself is. One is a self-aware computer intelligence, and the second is a creature from the mists of Old Earth's most ancient legends. And this trio of furies won't rest until vengeance is served!
