One hacker takes on a data-heist that uncovers the bitter truth.

Chiaki Nakayama (codename: Nova) considers herself the best hacker in her side of the Milky Way. Only her brother could rival her hacker skills, and now he's dead.
Desperate to solve her brother's murder, Chiaki is short on new leads. Until a Galactic Alliance marine comes knocking at her door. She's forced to accept a data heist mission to keep her hacker crew out of prison. But Chiaki bites off more than she can chew and soon finds the answers she's been looking for all along.
Starfade is a standalone novella. But the events take place between the middle and end of Descendant of the Elders: Realm Blender Book 1. To get full satisfaction, it's recommended to read both books. Starfade blends Scifi Fantasy, Space Opera and Cyberpunk genres into an easy-to-read, action-packed novella.
