Petrichor Blooms - Paperback

by Mindi Briar (Author)

Twenty-two-year-old Danya Xiang would rather dig potatoes than wield a blaster.

Unfortunately, that's not an option; she was born into the Greenjackets, a militaristic rebel organization dedicated to fighting the oppressive Empire. Her twin sister, Nox, is a talented soldier, while Danya makes do with a career in food production.

That is, until Nox begs Danya to take her place in an offworld expedition. Danya reluctantly agrees, hoping the mission will be over before anyone notices the twins swapping places.

The mission? To capture university student Amy Ediya, whose mother's valuable genetics research has gone missing. The Greenjackets are convinced that Amy has it hidden, and are ready to torture it out of her.

Amy doesn't have the research, but she knows where to find it. Pirates, giant fish aliens, and Danya's angry twin all stand in their way, but Danya and Amy make a great team...especially once they catch a bad case of feelings for each other. But the closer they get to their goal, the more apparent it becomes that the missing information might be hiding secrets that endanger both of them.
