#122 Fortune's Pawn by Rachel Bach

Devi is a very ambitious person and wants to get to the highest accomplishments in her field as fast as she can.  And that job is guarding the King and the only way to be a Devastator is to be invited. When a friend tips her off on a guard job that has a high death rate but also a high rate of the survivors getting tapped into those ranks she jumps at the chance. Of course the ship Glorious Fool is more than she seems and yet Devi has a a hard time putting her finger on it.  She does stumble onto the secret and boy is it a big one. This book is the first of a series and I can't wait for the next one. Good fun read that I will certainly be recommending when people ask me for good SF.
