Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome back to Books from the Backlog, the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books. This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile. I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time hopefully soon. In honor of SciFi Month 2025 (Image credit: Artwork by Yuriy Nedopekin), all this November I'm featuring sci-fi books.

Summary (From the back of the book):
Jory Rask is a professional shockball player. The fasted runback in the game, she is loved across Terra. But Jory has a secret that she's lived with for twenty-four years. In a xenophobic world that despises aliens, she is not quite human.When her mother dies - and that secret is revealed - Jory must honor her mother's last wishes and set out on a journey to find others like herself, those know as the ClanChildren of Honor. And once they meet, none of their lives will ever be the same again. For in order to take the vengeance denied their mothers, they must undergo training at the Tana, the school for assassins known as blade dancers - the most lethal killers in the galaxy. And in the heart of that school lies a deadly secret... and the key to Jory's past.
Why Did I Add It?
This standalone sounds like it could be intriguing and it's been a while since I've read a book featuring a fictional sport.
