Seeds and Masters - Sycorax Series, #2

Mercy and compassion are not for those who lead. You fake those attributes in public, but when important decisions are to be made, you leave them behind. Eleven-year-old Claribel is being trained by her mother to take over leadership of their world. But as Claribel learns more of what it means to lead the way her mother wants her to, Claribel's growing compassion may disqualify her or get her killed.
And when a man and his young daughter are marooned on Caliban's world, Caliban hopes to find true friends and escape his troubled and violent past. SEEDS AND MASTERS is the second book in the space opera SYCORAX SERIES, inspired by Shakespeare's play THE TEMPEST. Continue the exciting journey into the known systems!
