An Alliance prison is no place for a deaf teen girl. Fortunately, Starla doesn't intend to stay for long.
Starla Dusai is fifteen, deaf and being held as an enemy combatant by the Indiran Alliance. Willem Jaantzen is a notorious crime lord about to end a fearsome vendetta and most probably his life.
When he learns his goddaughter has been captured by the Alliance, he understands he's her only hope. But saving a girl he barely knows means letting his wife's murderer walk free. Will Jaantzen be able to put aside his anger before Starla's time runs out?
STARFALL is a standalone novella in Jessie Kwak's Durga System series, a fast-paced series of gangster sci-fi stories set in a far-future world where humans may have left their home planet to populate the stars, but they haven't managed to leave behind their vices. And that's very good for business.
