America fell and the Kingdom of America rose up in its place, but that’s ancient history. Award winning writer Nathan H. Green, author of The Galileo, and Woe to the Victor, brings a degree in aerospace engineering to this action-packed, science-fiction/fantasy epic.

Kuna Romeson could have been a sculptor, or a spy; Destroyers could do a lot of things. Maybe she’d even meet a boy who wasn’t a complete cotton head, or worse, the lecherous, buffoonish, son of a royal official. She’d even started to look forward to a lake house trip her ‘friends’ had planned. Maybe after that she’d actually start to like them, her dad kept telling her she would if she made an effort, and he was usually right.

But then her stupid, mundaine, idiot, fink of a brother Lee had to find a way to mess everything up.

The worst part was, she could tell he was enjoying himself. Oh he couldn’t admit it, not when he knew how furious she was, but deep down finding himself on a heroic quest, trying to unravel an ancient secret, was everything the fink had ever wanted. Well, almost everything.

In all Lee’s adventure stories, in all his fantasies, he’d never known what real danger felt like. What real loss was. And now he would, and so would she.
