The Fleet Admiral’s Daughter is a gripping space opera filled with high-stakes action, complex relationships, and a journey of self-discovery. Captain Sarah Miller, the reluctant heir to her father’s legacy, must navigate the treacherous world of the Space Legion, where old alliances and deadly rivals threaten to unravel everything she's worked for.
As a strong female protagonist, Sarah is faced with a choice: continue serving under a mentor she admires or step into the captaincy she was born to inherit. But not everyone in the galaxy believes she deserves that title—least of all, the rival captain who has always coveted her place. His ambition knows no bounds, and with every move, he seeks to undermine her, making the mission personal.
Set against a backdrop of interstellar conflict and political intrigue, The Fleet Admiral’s Daughter explores themes of identity, legacy, and power, while delivering a character-driven sci-fi narrative that fans of space military fiction will devour. Sarah’s relationships are just as central to the story as her battles in space, especially her growing romance with Annie, a fellow soldier. Together, they must face impossible odds, challenging not just their skills but their loyalty to one another.
Perfect for readers seeking LGBTQ+ science fiction with a heart, this queer romance in space blends action, emotional depth, and moments of quiet heroism. With echoes of underdog heroes and intricate space combat, this novel is sure to resonate with those who feel disconnected and different—the loners, the techies, and the dreamers who long for a place to belong.
If you love sci-fi books with strong female leads, military sci-fi, and queer romance, then The Fleet Admiral’s Daughter will take you on a journey across the stars and into the depths of what it means to truly step into your power.
"All in all, this deep space thriller is a read with surprising depth. From the perilous missions to the interpersonal betrayal, you will not want to put this down. If you like high-stakes sci-fi and sweet sapphic romance, you are in the right place." - The Lesbian Library
