Beyond Reach

Kez is ship's cook on a stolen ship crewed by pirates. They're on the run from the corrupt Ascendancy goverment, and they've just picked up two new passengers: 'unicorn' people, aliens also fleeing for their lives.

With the Ascendancy hard on their heels, Kez and the crew flee into a dangerous, unexplored area of space, not knowing if they'll come out alive...

Contains: space, aliens, snakes and unicorns, an intersex protagonist, and a decent amount of plot
