Now the Torth Majority clamors for better leadership: a commander who can outsmart Thomas. It's time for the Upward Governess to seize absolute power, cast off the laws which constricted her, and do whatever she can to prove her superiority over rebellious runaway slaves and human hybrids. Thomas's starship is adrift and starved for water and fuel. Ariock barely clings to life amidst rioting refugees. The Torth have unlimited weapons, slaves, planets, space armadas, and plenty of super-human soldiers ... but a rebel nation is being born. The refugees are primed for war. With Thomas at the helm of their nascent civilization, even the mightiest of Torth quake in fear. For the first time in Torth history, the rulers of the galaxy cannot feel sure of victory. ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ Copyright © 2020 Abby Goldsmith. All rights reserved.

Anyone who dares to question the elected rulers of the Megacosm--or worse, defy them--will suffer death by torture. Only Thomas escaped that fate. He severed himself from the Megacosm in order to rescue his former friends from slavery and death, and now he's hunted as a renegade super-genius. But if he's going to survive in alien wildernesses, evading ruthless galactic armies, he needs help from the gigantic prisoner whom he was forced to sentence to death. Thomas and Ariock have enough brilliance and power between them to bring freedom to the universe. They might destroy seemingly omnipotent galactic leaders ... but first, they need to figure out how to trust each other. ✴ Winner in the 2019 Majestic Awards Copyright © 2018 Abby Goldsmith.

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE
