title: Dark Tempest
author: Benson, Manda
description: The greatest of the best, the least of the worst: both stand alone in a future divided.
  4,000 years from the present day, the human race survives divided into a ruling genetic elite and a genetic underclass with neither the intelligence nor the will to revolt.
  Jed of the
  Shamrock
  is a 'star Archer', descendant of one of the highest Blood lineages in existence, and she carries with this a heavy responsibility and an adherence to a strict code of solitude and discipline. Gerald Wolff is a petty criminal and a halfBlood, a bastard resulting from the rape of a person of the lowest caste by a Blood aristocrat, shunned by both the low castes and those of the Blood.
  Thrown together by a hijack, Jed and Wolff must work together to keep their freedom when Jed's ship becomes the focus of sinister interests. Torn between the Code and her feelings for Wolff, Jed takes the
  Shamrock
  where she knows no man dares follow, where she must face her deepest fears and make a terrible choice.
