Cosmic gods are born as alien agendas are revealed, mighty star fleets clash and the galaxy stands on the brink of annihilation!

This book tells the story of the earliest days of the SHATTERING saga, revealing the age before the gods of the Golden City--and the origins of the mightiest beings in the galaxy.

On the very eve of his conquest of the Seven Worlds of Man, an assassin has struck down General Constantine Baranak.

Now his son, Gaius, has formed an alliance with a mysterious being who walks between worlds to track down those responsible for the murder. But this enigmatic figure possesses dark secrets no one else knows, and pursues an agenda all his own.

When the true threat is at last revealed, the two will have to battle the enemy side by side before the dreams of alien conquerors seeking godhood bring about the destruction of all that is...

Karilyne:
Heart Cold as Ice

The beloved Ice Queen from LUCIAN: DARK GOD'S HOMECOMING and LEGION III in her own adventure!

Volume 3 in the ABOVE series and a part of the vast SHATTERING/LEGIONS saga

THE RACE IS ON!

Freed from millennia of imprisonment, the prime disciples of the deathgod Vorthan search the galaxy for six Cosmic Weapons of immense power that they can use to restore their former master to existence.

Among those six objects are the legendary golden Sword of Baranak and Karilyne’s own mighty Axe. Thus the Ice Queen herself is drawn into the chase, attempting to hunt down the Weapons before the forces of evil can acquire them.

Along with her on the journey she brings the Dyonari swordswoman, Mirana; Binari, a Rao Technologist; Solonis, the god who travels through time; and Davos, a massive alien of mysterious origins; plus other surprising allies.

Ahead of her await Vorthan’s dark disciples and horrific alien menaces, as well as the super-soldiers of Legion III and even the mighty Hands of the Machine.

But Karilyne is angry, and she is on a mission. And may the gods help those foolish enough to get in her way…
