The Hostage in Hiding

The Hostage in Hiding was a finalist for the 2023 Imadjinn Award in the Young Adult category!

In a family full of heroes, Nora Connaught is the normal one. She’s never fought space pirates. Never saved anyone’s life. Never done anything remotely heroic.

Now she’s 18, and going off to college on another planet. Nora hopes she’ll finally get to live a normal life. But life never goes as expected. After pirates hijack the starliner she is traveling on, putting thousands of lives at risk, Nora must live up to the Connaught name. Can she cast her own heroic shadow?

Set twenty years after the events in the Adventures of Matt & Michelle, The Hostage in Hiding follows Matt’s and Michelle’s eldest child as she sets off for college on her father’s birth planet of Draconis.
