Book One

OBSIDIAN

Ariela Starborn has a collared Imperial defector in her bed and a mission that sounds like treason twice over: free the Emperor instead of killing him.

But when she finally stands before the tyrant of the galaxy, what she feels is not hatred. It is a pull neither of them can explain, and it is getting stronger.

To break his chains she will need a mute assassin with a dead lover carved into her silence, a five-thousand-year-old counter-ritual, and a droid override code that has never once worked when it mattered.

The Oracle has an empire, a fleet, and something sleeping beneath Krios that should never wake.

The Saga

Across ten books, the Starion Saga follows Ariela Starborn and the family she has forged into the dark that comes after victory: a herald risen from grief, an order reborn from its own ashes, a power in her blood that has plans of its own, and a galaxy that must learn what the light truly costs.

The war for the throne is over. The war for everything else begins now.

Beneath the ice of Krios, something ancient has opened its eyes. It has waited five thousand years for a commander worthy of its army.

About the Author

SEVERINE MARR

Severine Marr writes space opera the way she likes her sky at midnight: vast, dark, and full of things that burn. She is the author of the Starion Saga, a ten-book epic of rebellion, forbidden power, and desire that refuses to behave, published by Midnight Watch Press.

She believes political intrigue and explicit heat belong in the same chapter, that every chain has two ends, and that the best characters are the ones who would survive their author. She lives somewhere with bad weather and good whiskey, and she is already writing the next book.

The Starion Saga continues in Book Two: Frost.
