Kings, Queens and Colonies Book - Flame Tree Publishing

“...a masterful epic of exploration and exile.” — Lee Murray, two-time Bram Stoker Award® winner and author of Grotesque: Monster Stories

“Insightful and very entertaining!” - Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Relentless and V-Wars

Of Kings, Queens and Colonies: (Coronam Book 1) is a story about many heroes set in the human future, where politics and players of 16th-century Europe reflect humanity’s recurring mistakes at another critical crossroads of decision and evolution.

Almost a thousand years after the Unrest on Old Earth, new civilized worlds stand on the brink of war. The planet Enskari, as an affront to tradition and the Prophet in the Temple, has placed Zabel, a woman, on the throne. With the church's support, Brandon of Hyrax prepares an army to tame Enskari and unify the system under one rule — his own.

Meanwhile, a group of Enskaran separatists sets out to the last unclaimed world of the system, Tirgwenin. There, they will find something strange. Something low and connecting, subtle and expanding. Something alien. Something truly dangerous.
