How the multiverse got its revenge
(Book)

Sequel to: How Rory Thorne destroyed the multiverse.

Space pirate Rory Thorne and her crew trace an abandoned ship to vicious advanced alien tech and a sentient floral plant designed to be a massive biological weapon.

After avoiding an arranged marriage, thwarting a coup, and inadvertently kick-starting a revolution, Rory Thorne is no longer a princess, but a space pirate. When Rory and her crew-- former royal bodyguards, Thorsdottir and Zhang, and co-conspirator Jaed-- encounter an abandoned ship registered under a false name, they find evidence of vicious technology and arithmancy, alien and far beyond known capabilities. The only answer may lay in the cargo: a rose plant-- that is sentient, and designed as a massive biological weapon. -- adapted from jacket
