Books like Vicky Peterwald by Mike Shepherd
Born a princess of wealth and power, Vicky Peterwald spent her youth poised only for an advantageous marriage. The sudden death of her brother, the heir apparent, at the hands of the enemy’s lieutenant, forces her to abandon palace life and embrace harsh military training. As Ensign Vicky, she must shed her seductive tactics for the cold efficiency demanded by her father, the Emperor. Overcoming doubt and refusing to be a pawn, she masters the rigors of naval warfare with guidance from an unlikely ally—Kris Longknife, the very woman who killed her brother.
Vicky’s journey from royal heir to competent officer explores themes of revenge, loyalty, and the transformation of privilege into purpose within a high‑stakes imperial court and naval fleet.
