What's worse than being the poster child for your planet's destruction?

Being invited back to the Capital that made you famous for it—on the anniversary. Ugh. But Frankie Styles, cargo captain and reluctant icon, can't say no when her best friend Beth announces she's marrying into the Regent's family.

A week of state dinners, perfected manners, and questions about That Photo? Fine. Plus her not-quite-a-cat companion Spike keeps vanishing to "meetings." But seriously, how bad could a wedding be?

Perfect for fans of: Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series, Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch, anyone who thinks weddings are better with drama, and readers who know that sometimes the real family is the enhanced spy-cat you found along the way.
