Do we really own the Earth, or were we deceived? Centuries ago, the Aboriginals were the dominant civilization on the planet until our ancestors arrived from space and conquered them to claim Earth as their own. Now, after all this time, the Aboriginals have risen up to seek vengeance for the wrongs inflicted on them by our ancestors, starting with a dictatorship in a small town called Pseudo Falls. Tiara Hearst lived an ordinary life in Pseudo Falls until the dictator decreed that all young people must be imprisoned in a penitentiary disguised as an elite school. Tiara managed to survive for a year, but she was eventually caught breaking a newly-enacted law and sentenced to death. Although she was rescued in time, her best friend was killed, prompting Tiara to take a stand and fight for the liberation of everyone. In the midst of family conspiracies and harsh truths about humanity, can a single girl with courage and an unwavering belief in freedom save humanity or seek revenge for the genocide of her people?

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.

| A WATTPAD FEATURED FANTASY NOVEL | "Just because you were ordinary there doesn't mean you have to be anything less than extraordinary here." That's the advice orphan Amira DeLante was given when she found herself caught accidentally in an alternate realm. Still unable to swallow her new reality, she found herself beginning to question her past, present, and future. *** From a geeky childhood to a lonely adulthood, all the 18 year old teenager knew was to keep her head down and complete her education, come what may. After accidentally teleporting herself into the Imperium Realm which was unlike any other fictional world she had read about, she was suddenly expected to keep the origin of her arrival a secret and fit into a crowd she thought she would never get along with. Everything seemed like happiness and sunshine on the outside, but she never expected that buried underneath all that goodwill were rotten secrets which would cause a catastrophe. And when past betrayals come to seek revenge on the injustice done to them, it's the younger generation who has to pay. If it seemed like being in a different realm wasn't a problem enough, Amira finds herself knee deep in a web of lies, unexplainable disasters, actual friends, and more magic than she can handle. It's safe to say that her life was never going to be the same. (Full synopsis inside in "Preface")
