I Refuse to Be Human [Interstellar]

Bai Sha thought she had it all figured out—three years gutting fish on the galaxy's poorest border planet, saving every credit for her shot at the Federal Military Academy. She passed the brutal entrance exam against all odds, only to be denied enrollment for one shocking reason: she's not human. The genetic test reveals her true identity as an Aresian, a member of the absolute ruling class of the neighboring empire. Now caught between two worlds, Bai Sha must navigate interstellar politics, hidden bloodlines, and a destiny she never asked for in this thrilling sci-fi romance.
