Starcrossed: Adrift

Born a female on an island hidden somewhere in the blue waves of a backwater planet known as Zinn Ilda, Nico leaves home to find his missing father, Daris. Able to sense the pull of fate itself, Nico follows that pull to discover his missing father. Dead. There, he also encounters an outsider who somehow knows his mother's name.

Not long after, the traveling ban on Zinn Ilda is lifted and Nico finds himself taken away by cruel space-faring mercenaries from beyond the stars. Now he must struggle to survive their world and expectations and prove to his captors that, despite having the body of a woman, he is a man.
