When the impossible is true…
A stunning stranger appears out of nowhere and pulls Sonora to the depths of the sea. There she finds something that shouldn’t exist—a city, centuries old.

When Ian drags Sonora to his home, little did he know who she really was—a granddaughter of the most hated man of his people. The one he has been tracking for decades.

A dangerous madman watches and waits for his chance to destroy in the name of science. Stopping him is the only way the world can survive.

Ian has his mission. Stop the killer. But Sonora will have to deal with the consequences.

Infiltrating the ceremony to protect the innocent, Damian uncovers something even more sinister than a massacre. With the help of his berserker fairy friend, he may need to prevent an unholy union between ancient demons and the walking dead.

The complete trilogy.

Captain Jess Tolvern of HMS Blackbeard is leading a Royal Navy expedition across long-dormant space lanes toward Old Earth when an alien fleet ambushes her battle cruiser. The aliens are Adjudicators, an ancient race whose ethos is to judge other species and reduce their survivors to a stone age existence.

Tolvern sends a desperate message back to headquarters and retreats with her damaged ship to friendly systems. By the time she returns, the aliens have already invaded Alliance territory with a powerful fleet of star fortresses and accompanying dragoon ships, trapping and laying siege to the allied fleet.

While repairing her ship, Tolvern cobbles together a squadron of damaged allied warships, former raiders, and the local survivors of an Adjudicator attack to drive off the alien fleet.
