Into the Dark: 1 (Alexis Carew)

Denied a place on her home world she made her own among the stars.At fifteen Alexis Carew has to face an age old problem - shes a girl and only a boy can inherit the familys vast holdings. Her options are few. She must marry and watch a stranger run the lands or become a penniless tenant and see the lands she so dearly loves sold off. Yet there may be another option one that involves becoming a midshipman on a shorthanded Navy spaceship with no other women.
