The Ballad of Seraphina

Elijah Cale: A disaffected veteran of EarthGov's deadly wars, hiding in the deep black from the dystopian hell his existence had become. A ragged hermit fleeing life.

Wiley Tanakeda: A mad scientist, pure and simple, with a deep, personal  debt to the soldier Elijah once was.

Seraphim: A cobbled together starship of Meloran lineage that Wiley and his crew have helped Elijah salvage. Far from what she seems in more ways than can be counted, Seraphim is Wiley's gift of life to the man who once saved his life.

And what about Seraphina? What indeed?

This is the story of one man's rebirth, and of a unique and special girl whose task it is to guide him.

And of the mysterious forces bent on their destruction.
