Drown the Stars

To the aquatic people of Zivea, the only thing worse than a coward is a Weeper.

Sir Vaine, newly knighted for ruthlessly slaughtering thousands, is both. She is perfectly fine with that.

The cowardice and the Weeping, anyway.

Vaine does everything she can to leave the battlefield behind, using her one royal boon to become a tutor in hopes that she'll finally be left alone.

Despite her best efforts, she becomes a volatile toy in the hands of the dangerously alluring god-Queen and her bloodthirsty court.

Each attempt to escape scrutiny increases it.

Even small choices provoke heavy consequences.

And every day, the galaxy becomes more dangerous for the children she's determined to protect.
