Mistworld

A planet of outlaws, rebels, and misfits must fight back against the corrupt empire in a novel by a New York Times–bestselling author: "Lots of action." —Science Fiction Chronicle
Long before the start of a galactic rebellion, Mistworld is just another rebel planet, cut off from the fruits of empire by a punishing blockade. In a spaceport where ships hardly land anymore, and any piece of high tech is worth far more than its weight in gold, a medieval order has imposed itself on this once-rich world: The strong rule, the weak perish, and no one is too rich to steal.
