The Star Throne's Shadow

A Throne Lies Empty. A Galaxy Stirs. One General Dares to Seize It.

In a crumbling empire stretched thin across the stars, peace is but a mask-and it's cracking. The Star Throne's Shadow is the explosive first entry in the Crowns of the Cosmos series: a bold new space opera saga brimming with political intrigue, brutal ambition, and ancient prophecy.

General Vorlag has served the Galactic Concord with unwavering loyalty, but loyalty has a cost. Ignored by a decadent court and betrayed by the empire he shed blood for, Vorlag hears a whisper from beyond: The Star Throne awaits the hand that dares to seize it-but its shadow consumes all.

When the Emperor is assassinated during the Imperial Gala, chaos erupts. The Concord reels. The heirs are weak. Power is up for the taking.

From shimmering palaces on Xylos Prime to storm-wracked alien frontiers, Vorlag and his brilliant, ruthless wife Adora begin a calculated rise. But forces stir in the shadows-psionic mystics, sentient machines, and a prophecy that may demand more than either of them is prepared to pay.

Will Vorlag claim the throne? Or will the galaxy burn in the shadow of ambition?
