Of Kings, Queens and Colonies: (Coronam Book 1) is a
multi-protagonist story set in the human future where the politics and
players of sixteenth century Europe echo the repeated mistakes of
humanity at another crucial crossroads of decision and evolution.
Nearly a millennium after The Unsettling of old Earth, the new civilized
worlds are on the brink of war. The planet Enskari, as an affront to
tradition and the Prophet on Temple, has placed Zabel, a woman upon
its throne. With the backing of the church, Brandon of Hyrax readies an
armada to subdue Enskari and unite the system under a single rule--his
own.
Meanwhile an Enskaran group of separatists depart for the last unclaimed
world of the system, Tirgwenin. There they will find something strange.
Something low and connective, subtle and spreading. Something alien.
Something truly threatening.
