About the book
He raised her like a daughter. Now he's going to war for her.
Persephone, the exiled Princess of Callia, has finally discovered a path to free her people from fifty years of Seccoon occupation. To succeed, she must seek out her former mentor and surrogate fathers, Chuck and Frank. Armed with knowledge of the galaxy's competing powers, Chuck can help her forge the alliances needed to reclaim her home. But when Persephone asks him to join her crusade, Chuck faces an impossible choice: answer the call to war, or remain with the grandchildren he has sworn to protect.
The full story →Meet the crew
A people fighting for freedom. A family fighting for a future.
The world
A galaxy on the edge.
Humanity and the Nasga stand on the brink of an alliance that could reshape the galaxy. The Werewolves and Vampires who once hunted Humans on ancient Earth, now fight as uneasy allies. The Dwarves mine the Llessurium that all interstellar civilisations rely on. Amid these shifting powers, the Seccoon still hold the Callion people in chains.
Every faction has a reason to fight. Not all of them are fighting for the same thing.
