Royal Diplomacy
Which will prevail: Diplomacy or violence?
The League of Free Planets sent a diplomatic team to negotiate a settlement between two warring planets. Everyone knows to follow the rules of interstellar courtesy during talks.
But when one of those planets is tradition-bound Estancia, things quickly go sideways.
Unexpected threats have the League Council’s new president scrambling against a ticking countdown. Who better to turn to than his trusted friend’s mercenary team?
Except not one but two of the diplomats in question are related to the mercenaries, including Anwyn’s estranged mother.
Adding to the muddle, Anwyn and her new bodyguard haven’t fully integrated with the team—or gotten used to working with each other.
Allies rally to help, but an old enemy anticipates their arrival. The team has a mission…but nothing is quite as they expected.
Rescuing diplomatic hostages should be easy for an experienced mercenary team. But no one factored in an insurgency or a blizzard!
