Hartman's Queen

by S. N. Rae

Clarissa Finley never intended to start a war. After a young naval captain rescues her from a torture camp, Clarissa wants only to hide-from her heritage, from the horrors in her past, and most of all from the people who would send her back to her nightmares without a second thought. Clarissa is Lollan, a race blamed for economic recession and the terrible plague sweeping the countryside. Lucky for her, the only thing identifying her as a Lollan fugitive is the L-shaped brand on her arm. If she can keep it hidden, she stays alive. But hiding her brand proves more difficult than she fears, and soon Clarissa finds herself seeking asylum from her rescuer, Ian Hartman. He is the only one who can get her the travel papers she needs, but the longer Clarissa waits for Ian, the closer she gets to Renwick, the ruthless Senator responsible for the trauma of her past. When his informer discovers her true identity, Renwick blackmails Clarissa into an impossible decision: betray Ian and give uncontested control of the government to him, or return to the torture camp. If she agrees, Renwick will destroy the only hope her people have for survival. If she refuses, Renwick will destroy her.
