Emotion is a weapon. Harnessing its power could destroy worlds.

Palia’s emotions are in turmoil. After watching her son succumb to Empyrean fire, she barely escapes the same fate. Guilt ridden and alone, she will not stop until his killer is brought to justice.

The Protectorate forbids Ferrash to have emotions. That suits him, since he cannot avoid the people who control the Empyrean. Making this sacrifice prevents them from hijacking his feelings and using them as a weapon against him.

Burnin' Down the House

5 stars

Katherine Franklin has created a breath-taking beast of a story blending war, hope, death, and love in a rich, swirling stew. The characters (it's always the characters with me) drew me in from the first view of Ash and Bek skulking around Everatus IV. Palia Terric added spice to the mix that only got richer and deeper as the story unfolds - one thrilling escapade (and escape) after another.

A richly detailed excursion through the underbellies of two star spanning civilizations as our intrepid - but hardly fearless - crew struggle to find the truth about what happened on Everatus IV and why did it happen. When they finally do, the two powers collide in what promises to be a cataclysmic explosion.

Classic galaxy spanning space opera adventure at its best.

Highly Recommended - especially if you like your SF fueled with copious amounts of adrenaline.
