TO FIND HARMONY YOU MUST FIND THE MONSTER
After a tragic loss, Harmony Rothchild is a young girl placed into slavery and forced into the life of servitude in one of the thousands of brothels that populates the outer rim planet of Halagan. Only after killing for her freedom does her journey begin as she undertakes the difficult task of going after those who took away everything that she loved. She must dig deep and embrace the monster that is inside her if she looks to hunt down the most powerful and most ruthless people that inhabit the seventeen systems.
She will go out to the desolate backwater planet of Tolvin-19 for the infamous Slave King. Hunt for the Black Maiden in the shining capital of Deledos. Seek the Friendly Betrayer in the confines of The Cell. And uncover the mystery of the Lone Beast on the home planet of the Argo Empire. But one name will remain as she will not sleep until the Mad Emperor and his mighty and unstoppable empire fall with him.
She will cross those names from her list, she will have her revenge, she will embrace the monster within, and she will not stop until she finds HARMONY, a novel written by James L. Gordon.
