The MOSAIC OF STARS: First Novel Part One: Dyad

An empire held together by a lie. A galaxy on the edge of war.When a bombing tears through the Imperial High Council, it sets three worlds on a collision course: the democracy of Synor demands retribution, the ice autocracy of Oros sharpens its blades, and at the far edge of the galaxy, an unknown power begins to move. At the center of it all stands Empress Elyria IV - young, untouchable, and the keeper of a secret that could shatter everything she has spent her reign protecting.The Primal Nodes - ancient, non-human structures capable of quantum teleportation across the galaxy - are not the gift the factions believe them to be. Elyria knows what they truly are. And that truth is more dangerous than any war.Four voices carry this story: - Elyria IV - the Empress who rules an empire she can no longer trust- Vaelen - her Supreme Commander: soldier, lover, the one person she cannot protect- Shael - the Councillor of Synor, who sets a death warrant in motion he cannot stop- Kaelen - a smuggler who carries something inside him that no one, not even he, yet understandsThe Mosaic of the Stars is political space opera for adults. No simple heroes. No clean lines between good and evil. A galaxy that breathes in its full complexity - imperial intrigue, shadow alliances, alien civilizations, and a love at the heart of absolute power.For readers of Frank Herbert, Iain M. Banks, and Ann Leckie.Book One of an ongoing series.
