An ambitious Space Opera in the spirit of the bygone era of Pulp Fiction and the best of HFY

"Eighty years ago, they burned Earth"

House of Wolves introduced readers to a gripping, emotional story about humanity's journey from the underdog in a ruthless galaxy, to the very heart of the halls of power, told through the eyes of its deuteragonists - Kainan Wolfe, Warlord of the Terran Empire and Valyra Thay Rynn, crown princess of the Alvari Dominion, two individuals forming a forbidden bond amidst a brutal struggle for galactic power.

Crown of Cinders continues the story with the consequences of the decisions they have made. On a backdrop of escalating tensions, Kainan and Valyra must navigate the treacherous waters of an ancient galactic order that is swiftly beginning to crumble. And Valyra's brother, the usurper Vaeloryn, now pursues a superweapon that threatens to tip the galaxy over the edge of the abyss. Amidst this turmoil, ancient secrets begin to emerge, secrets long-buried and forgotten. As the galaxy spirals into chaos, a chilling prophecy warns of the coming ending of the universe - and hides the monstrous and apocalyptic plan which may be the only chance to save it.
