The Darya Saga — Daniel A. Roberts

The Galaxy is a hard place to survive.  Removed from a life of luxury on a primitive planet, Darya becomes a fugitive between the galactic superpowers, the League of Free Worlds and the Fabrini Hive Empire.   This spin-off adventure originated in the novel called Paradise Project, an expansion of the adventures of a lovely queen of darkness who abdicates her primitive throne for a difficult life among the stars.  Trained by a renegade one star general from the League of Free Worlds, she must endure both hardships and heartbreak just to survive the rising tides of misfortune and unexpected wealth.  Does Darya finally grow within the light of reason, or will the galaxy lead her into a horrible death?
