[300k+ words written for Books 1-4] Three voices. Three paths. One firestorm of war. Tolly washed out of the Academy, leaving her sister’s sacrifices in ashes. Now she rides a lumbering land-harvester, dreaming of what might have been—until a stadium splits open and a rift swallows half the crowd. With her friend Connor, she’s hurled into an invasion that will tear across worlds. Miran commands a nation-sized fleet, young and untested, chosen to lead her wandering people at the Federation’s edge. Evidence of a sacked planet reaches her hands just as whispers of missing crew threaten to unravel her rule. To hold her people together, she must weigh secrets that could spark mass panic. Saul hates his queen, his chains, his crown-bound station. Age and guile have bought him rank but not freedom. When a single ship drifts into his grasp—cargo worth a fortune, destiny worth the gamble—he sees his chance to break free. As rifts open and war ignites, their orbits will collide. And the fire will spread far beyond their stars. _______________________________ Cover designs by Tiph Le Roux @tiphcreations _______________________________ Expect: - 3 character POVs (in book one, expands in book two) - Tragedy and a lot of death - Classic space opera with interweaving plots - Traumatic moments - Planetary invasion - Ancient evils - Space zombies - Pirates - Unique worlds and governments - Hard sci-fi and relativistic (fast moving) combat This story is inspired by: - The Lost Fleet series - The Expanse series - Pandora's Star - Saga of the Seven Suns _______________________________ NO WRITTEN CONTENT CREATED/EDITED USING AI Cover designs by Tiph Le Roux @tiphcreations
