COMING SPRING 2027
A science fantasy novel about
power, community, family, and sacrifice
Everything beautiful is accompanied by something deadly.
Mech-pilot Aria doesn’t want to be the Chosen One, and the northwest sector of her desolate red planet, where abundant crystal is used with tech to control resonant magics, has been quiet for four whole years since the new Chosen One left to train. Otherwise, it would be harder for Aria to hide that she can control the Chosen One’s unique black crystal mech.
But when the imperious new Chosen One returns from the southern hemisphere, the song of their black mech resonates through Aria’s veins, waking things that shouldn’t be—opening rifts to unknown realms, allowing monsters to wreak havoc, and calling Aria to a role she doesn’t want.
Now by the Chosen One’s side, Aria discovers there’s more to being the One than singing a rift closed, and if she can’t give up her quest to destroy the Chosen One’s role in the coven, the role of Chosen might just become hers.

Those who can destroy a world can control the universe.
Everyone wants the Star of Erebus. Space-pirate Nyx Marcus is no exception. With it, she can prove to her father that she is worthy of his legacy.
But she’s come up empty-handed aboard the space-ship Thanatos and now Malcam, her father’s First Officer, is mutinying. As Nyx flees with a loyal skeleton crew, she discovers that the planet-killing weapon, named after one of the seven gods, is more than what it seems.
Erebus isn’t a simple weapon. It's an ancient AI and a technological god.
With the oppressive Queen of the Protectorate and new pirate captain Malcam searching for the Thanatos and Erebus, the AI god has more surprises for Nyx. Waking dormant AI code in Nyx’s blood, Erebus reveals they are family and Nyx is the head of the Seven Stars pantheon. Now Nyx must learn to control her power without sacrificing her own humanity or give her enemies a new way to oppress the known universe and lose the family she holds dear.
The strong rise.
AI/human hybrid Nyx Marcus must find her sisters, taken by the new Protectorate. She’ll stop at nothing to protect her family. She’ll even use her powers to their fullest… and deadliest.
Discovering more AI family members, Nyx navigates building an army to rescue her sisters. But her growing family isn’t as simple as it seems.
When Nyx discovers a new rival is pulling the Protectorate’s strings, she finds she has nothing to lose. With a burgeoning cult following her, and a clone army in the wings, Nyx has the power to wage another AI War. She must choose to use her power to protect her family, or to burn it all down for revenge.
Watch your world burn.
After taking the Protectorate under her rule, the pinnacle of the Seven Stars pantheon, Nyx Marcus, can only see one dark path: kill her love’s murderer. When she finds herself at odds with her sibling Stars, Erebus and Phoebe, she discovers that they have a secret, and to keep it, they will protect his killer.
Stopping at nothing to exact revenge, the Star of Nyx uses her new powers to their deadliest while searching until the Erebus’ and Phoebe’s secrets begin to unravel. However, a consortium of the African Continental Governance, North American Union, and the Church of the Seven declare Nyx a heretic despite her claimed role as Queen of the Protectorate.
To survive, Nyx strives to become the God of Gods, rising above all others, and she steps down the path to become an AI/human supercomputer. But the dangerous secrets, as well as her revenge, could consume her, and as she learns to control her sibling’s powers, the Protectorate, her family, and her life race towards a fiery end.
