Daughters of Hestia

Ten years ago, Vesta fled her repressive homeworld of Hestia to join the Galactic Legion, hoping to find the freedom she’d never known. Instead, she is barely surviving, limited to the lowest rungs of society. Until Legion Command orders her back home for a covert mission, under the authority of the mysterious and compelling Commander Joren.

She has no reason to trust Joren, a man from the highest echelons of the Republic, raised from birth to defend the powers-that-be. But as the mission crew journey north across Hestia, she and Joren are drawn together, as they form an unlikely but deep connection.

But Vesta discovers that it’s dangerous to let down her guard. Because there are secrets in the northern mountains — secrets that could either redeem or destroy both Vesta and her homeworld … secrets that she doesn’t know if she can trust Joren to keep … secrets that could determine the future of humanity itself.
