A Group of Misfits Face the Consequences of Stealing a Spaceship In This Excerpt From Star Bringer

Is there anything better than a new book written by a favorite author? What about a new book written by two of your favorite authors? Fans of #1 New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff and bestselling author Nina Croft are in for just such a treat this summer, with the arrival of the powerhouse duo’s buzzy new fantasy Star Bringer.
The latest title from Entangled Publishing’s new imprint Red Tower Books, which aims to focus on “feminist and empowered perspectives” in romantic fantasy and science fiction, the story is described as Firefly meets The Breakfast Club. It features a crew of misfits forced to go on the run together in order to save the universe from a dying star, even as they try to keep their own potentially deadly secrets from one another. Throw in some snarky romance and enemies that include everyone from the royal family to the church to the folks they originally stole their current spaceship from, and you have the recipe for an epic space adventure.
Here’s how the publisher describes the story.
The sun is dying…and it’s happening way too damn fast.
With the clock ticking, the Nine Planets’ only hope of survival rests on a fancy space station and the alien artifact it’s carrying. Which is why it really sucks when some jackass doesn’t want the universe saved and blows that station up—while you’re still on it.
So if your only choices are flaming death or stealing a flying hunk of space junk—you pick that busted-ass spaceship. Even if it leaves seven strangers with deadly secrets trapped together: a princess, a prisoner, a con artist, a warrior, a priestess, a mercenary, and an asshole in charge of us all.
Now every faction in the galaxy is hunting this ship—from the Sisterhood to the Corporation, and the rebellion’s joining in on the fun, too. We just need to stop drinking, fighting, and screwing long enough to evade them all and save the freaking universe…somehow.
Because apparently the only thing standing between a dying sun and ultimate salvation is seven unlikely misfits…ahem, heroes.
Star Bringer officially hits shelves on July 11, 2023, but we’re excited to offer you a sneak peek of the story right now.
We’re about to land on Askkandia. I just need to find a way to contact the palace without involving the others. Maybe ask Gage to teach me a few techy things, and I can try to get the comms going? Then the others can just go about their business and I can go home.
