The Shaman of Karres

Captain Pausert finds himself entwined in a whirlwind of challenges, from being labeled a criminal by the Imperial Fleet to navigating interstellar adventures with the feared Witches of Karres. Tasked by the Empress with stopping a devastating nanite plague, he inadvertently becomes a fugitive after a fierce battle leaves his ship in disrepair. Now, alongside the witches, he joins an interstellar circus to confront a peculiar slaver-culture and assist the youngest witch, The Leewit, as she begins to harness her healing powers. Amidst the chaos, all Pausert desires is a well-deserved vacation.
