The God of
Creation is missing, but pirate captain Adi Crestone has more immediate
problems. Caught between her criminal past and her maternal instincts, she
struggles to protect
her son from the Blood Queen. Buffeted by inner demons and external foes, she
must decide
what she is willing to sacrifice for freedom and family, all while navigating
treacherous alliances
that force her to confront her own past.
Theo Vanguard is an Imperial naval officer entangled in familial duty and
political
machinations. Trapped between his personal desires and his noble father’s
expectations, he is
captured by pirates and descends into the seedy underbelly of the city of
Solvigant. Where he
reveals a world of survival and sacrifice.
Dreams of adventure beyond the mundane inspire young Ion Rucinare to run away
from
home, only to find himself thrust into a perilous quest that could alter the
fate of the World
System. His yearning for acceptance and belonging is complicated as he grapples
with newfound
magical abilities and the harsh realities of life on the dying moon Xys.
Caught between the Empire, ruthless gang leaders, and enigmatic gods all vying
for
power, Adi, Theo, and Ion’s paths converge in a high-stakes search for a
powerful artifact,
Apyreon, which grants the wielder the very power of the gods themselves. Will
each find their
place in a universe teetering on the brink of chaos?
Excerpt:
“She wants
me to acquire an artifact.” Adi paused and considered how far she wanted to go
with the truth. She didn’t want to put Xander in too untenable a position, nor
did she want to engage his instinct toward heroism at the gravity of her task.
“Where is
it?”
“It’s here
in Solvigant. Stuart Royal has it.”
“The leader
of the White Rabbits?”
“The one and
only.”
“No mean
feat. Royal and his goons are well protected in the Warrens. I understand the
city watch has little presence there.”
You have
no idea, Adi
thought.
“What does
she want with the artifact? What is it?”
“No idea,”
Adi lied, “The Blood Queen does not share her plans with low level indentures.”
“I suppose
you need money?”
Adi nodded.
“Of course
you do.” He sighed and his defensive bulwarks returned. “If only you’d asked
for help before letting Ajax clamp that hideous thing around your neck, then we
wouldn’t be in this mess.”
We? Adi started to say it aloud but
stopped. He was entangled in her mistakes. “Despite your ideas to the contrary,
I have some pride.” Xander held up his hands in surrender. Adi pressed on,
though it hurt her to say it. “I know how much you’ve sacrificed for me, and if
we weren’t worried over Lucas’s safety I wouldn’t ask now.”
She hoped
Xander couldn’t detect her lies. She really needed money to locate Apyreon.
There would be bribes to pay, gear to assemble, and, gods, she needed a stiff
drink. Her mind strayed back to Stella’s Echo and Iris’s pallet.
“Do you
really think Sasha Riven will let you go when she holds so much power over
you?” Xander asked.
“What choice
do I have?”
Xander
sighed. His shoulders slumped. “How much do you need?”
“One hundred
gold spyres ought to do it.”
His eyes
widened. It wasn’t a huge sum, but it wasn’t a small one either.
“Finding a
magical astrolabe in a corrupt city of millions isn’t cheap,” Adi said, “And
I’ve lost all my gear.”
Xander shook
his head. “There is another way around all this.”
“No, Xan,
we’ve been over this. We’re not betrothed anymore.” Adi adjusted her collar,
which suddenly chafed.
