ABOUT THE BOOK
Ren Argent wanted to be an archeologist and
spend her life exploring the lost cities of Earth. But when a new planet is discovered and her
father is appointed King, she has to leave behind everything she knows to rule
over a place she’s only heard of in legends.
Not long after her arrival she discovers there
are insurgents hiding in the darkened forests and the planet is on the brink of
civil war. It won’t be long until the
Monarchy steps in to “neutralize” the threat.
AN EXCERPT
“He wants you to marry soon, but I
think he’ll be happier if you’re dead.”
Ren knew Garret was trying to get
her to marry someone on Novae but she hadn’t thought he’d be happier if she was
dead. She didn’t think her death would benefit
him in any way, actually. Or anyone, for
that matter.
“Garret might be a snake, but he
would be happier if I just married someone,” Ren argued.
“He’d be happier if Elian was on the
throne.”
That caught Ren by surprise. “What do you mean?”
“Maks cannot be controlled,”
Sheridan cut in, her voice low. “He does
what he believes is right and best for the people, not the Monarchy. Elian is not as strong as Maks; he’d fold
under their pressure.”
“Elian is plenty strong,” Ren
said. “And if he were the King then he
would be great. He would--”
“Be easily controlled,” Abetha
interrupted, “at least Garret thinks so.”
Ren bit down on her bottom lip. “No he wouldn’t.” It was true though, and Elian had plenty of
weaknesses they could exploit. All they
had to do was threaten to take away his machines and he would crumble. But Ren wanted to think her brother had more
integrity than that and shook her head.
“He would compared to Maks,” Abetha
said carefully. “The Monarchy is having
trouble keeping Maks under their thumb.
He isn’t doing what they want here.”
“And what is it they want?” Ren
whispered. It was what she’d been trying
to figure out ever since she’d left Earth.
In the darkness, Sheridan answered,
“Control.”
