Sci-fi Snow White
Essie survives on a remote mining planet by fixing robots and winning bar fights. It’s not much of a life, but it’s better than the alternative. At least, that’s what she firmly believes until the day a strange ship crashes near the settlement.
With the help of her seven customized mining drones, Essie repairs the ship and befriends its lone occupant, Dane, only for him to turn around and kidnap her! Now she is faced with a decision: to escape and find a way back to her quiet existence on Thanda, or to return with Dane to her home planet of Windsong where await her murderous stepmother and her father the king — who is far more corrupt than she ever imagined.
A fun little sci-fi romp!
Moderate: Child abuse, Incest, and Sexual assault
Vague references throughout the book that the main character's father sexually abused her as a child. One scene near the end where we see him try to again, but it doesn't go farther than holding her down on the bed fully clothed.
