BROADSIDE

Rain Nova Carmine Galaxia thought he knew who he was. An eighteen-year-old Earth-born young man preparing to follow in his late father’s footsteps and join the military, Rain’s life changes forever when he is abducted and taken across the stars. There, he discovers a truth that turns everything he knows upside down: He isn't just a soldier. He's a prince of the Celestria Empire. Thrown into a royal family he never knew existed, Rain must learn to navigate a world of alien civilizations, ancient bloodlines, political intrigue, and expectations that come with wearing a crown. But Rain has no intention of becoming a pampered noble. Determined to earn the respect of those who will one day serve under him, he enters the Celestria Imperial Military Academy. From brutal Black Knight training and mech combat to officer school and battlefield strategy, Rain discovers that commanding soldiers is far different from playing the strategy games he loved on Earth. And then the Draco Empire attacks. As an ancient enemy begins mobilizing its forces and the Celestrian war machine awakens, Rain's training suddenly becomes more than an academy exercise. The galaxy is heading toward war. And the Crown Prince may soon find himself standing on the front lines. A lost prince. A rising soldier. An empire on the brink of war. Rain came to the stars searching for a future. He may have just inherited a war.
