PR Zyklus 7: Die Cappins
Summary
The Cappin flagship glides through the starlit silence, a procession of metal and memory. Lyra Disten, a navigator with a stubborn talent for reading the tremors of alien tech, finds herself at the center of a delicate balance: a treaty that could stabilize a fracturing galaxy, and a betrayal that could shatter everything she has fought to protect. When a rogue squadron of shuttle-mercenaries closes in, every decision becomes a shard of light cutting toward an inevitable confrontation. The closer Lyra comes to the truth about the Cappins’ motives, the more the world around her tilts—revealing loyalties that outlive dynasties and a future that might require sacrificing more than just a single life to keep the peace.
