Welcome to the SWORD AND STAR blog tour!
SWORD AND STAR is the conclusion of a
trilogy I started (with my co-author for LINE AND ORBIT Lisa Soem) over a
decade ago. It's been a long, strange journey and now it's over. It’s not the
first book trilogy I've finished, but it's certainly the closest to my heart.
It's been amazing getting to know this
world and these characters over the course of three books, and it's been even
more amazing getting to share it all with readers. Adam Yuga and Lochlan
d’Bideshi’s story is done, Eva Reyes and Kyle Waverly have found their own
conclusion, Kae and Leila’s part in this tale is over (though you’ll see those
two again in the forthcoming LINEAGE), and I've bid a fond farewell to the
Bideshi seer Nkiruka. Goodbyes are never easy, but when you arrive at a good
one, it's immensely satisfying.
I'm so grateful to everyone who's
traveled with me, and just as grateful to the people coming to the story now.
Whatever category you fall into, I hope you'll find this final volume a fitting
end.
Thank you for being here!
About
Sword and Star
Three months after a brutal battle at
Peris, Adam Yuga, Lochlan D’Bideshi, and their rebel fleet are embroiled in a
new conflict. But things aren’t going well. Even with Lock’s homeship, Ashwina,
at the head of the fleet, the Protectorate forces are adapting to their
tactics. Before long, two devastating blows send the ragtag rebels on the run.
But the greatest threat may come from within.
Since the battle at Peris, Protectorate
loyalist Isaac Sinder’s determination to eliminate the rebel fleet has only intensified—along
with his ambition. The Protectorate is decaying, and it’s clear to Isaac that
only he can save it, by any means necessary.
As the situation worsens for the rebels,
the strain begins to tell on everyone. But more than exhaustion grows within
Adam. Something alien has started to change him. Lochlan fights to hold on, but
even he may not be able to follow Adam down the dark road ahead.
As Isaac’s obsession turns to insanity,
it becomes evident that more sinister plans than his are at work. Bound
together by threads of fate and chance, Adam and Lochlan turn their eyes toward
a future that may tear them apart—if they’re lucky enough to survive it at all.
