•Mass Effect meets Firefly••An own voices space opera•
Hop aboard La Sirena Negra and join the snarky, smart mouthed, trouble making captain Eva Innocente and her motley crew as they cruise the galaxy delivering small cargo for even smaller profits.
But when her sister Mari is kidnapped by The Fridge, a shadowy syndicate, Eva must undergo a series of unpleasant, dangerous missions to pay the ransom.
If she think that’s the worst of it, the ship's hold is full of psychic cats, an amorous fish-faced emperor wants her dead after she rejects his advances, and her sweet engineer is giving her a pesky case of feelings.
To free her sister, Eva will risk everything: her crew, her ship, and the life she's built on the ashes of her past misdeeds. But when the dominoes start to fall and she finds the real threat is greater than she imagined, she must decide whether to play it cool or burn it all down.
