The Earth has been the loving mother of humanity for thousands of years, but now humanity has left the cradle broken in its efforts to reach the stars. Those left behind have not fared well, but the efforts of the Conwin family and others have held the world together . . . oft time with an Iron Fist, but successfully nonetheless amid the strife since the lights went out.
Lian Conwin's assassination has changed everything, though, and the Imperium stirs from it's restless slumber. The cradle is shattered, but the steel Throne of humanity remains, and ambition is harder to kill than hope. Chaos and war engulf the Galaxy as the Imperium moves to take and hold what its new leadership believes to be theirs by sovereign right, fueled by the buried rage of billions.
Fleeing the coup, Jinsha Conwin and young Legionnaire Eryn Aubrey must seek allies if they want to survive . . . but for the likes of Conwin and Aubrey . . . survival will never be enough.
Earth is not the cradle of humanity. It is the Throne.
Almost four hundred years the Terran Imperium has languished, an Empire in name only. The young colonies exploded out of the Diaspora Era, supplanting the homeworld in importance as they left a broken world in their wake. Earth's people, guided by the Conwin line, have clawed and climbed from the darkness left the night the lights went out. They built and rebuilt the weary and weakened world they inherited, even when it seemed bent on killing them from sheer spite.
For the new generation, such as Young Eryn Aubrey, a new day seems set to dawn with the Empress' Tri-Centennial surprise announcement of hope and empowerment to the people. There are others, however, who are not nearly so enthused with what The Conwin has to say.
The Empire is a sleeping giant, goaded awake amidst tragedy, betrayal, and the machinations of conspiracy.
Loyalties will be tested, oaths broken, and bonds reforged. And into the galaxy a confused, angry, woken giant is set loose upon those long used to mocking its existence.
Born in flame and flood, the newly born community of Atlantis has begun to rebuild from being forced from their homes by the Demonic hordes.
For Elanthielle however, the war is still out there. Plagued by dreams that may mean more than they seem — as well as her own burning urge to strike back at the demons that took everything from her — Elan becomes convinced that something vital is about to happen to alter the course of humanity’s fate; something far deadlier than anything Earth has faced thus far.
As the demons prepare their endgame, and Elan sets herself against a demon horde of immeasurable strength, higher powers are watching … and with all else now lost, the watchers make a play of their own.
From the Devil’s Triangle to the Demon Sea, the war for Earth has just begun.
The last war was fought with weapons unimaginable…
A war was fought. Humanity lost.
Time for a rematch.
The world fell, the invaders won, and Demons now ruled what had once been man's domain. The great works of a once powerful civilization lie in ruins, its people having forgotten the wonders of their forefathers as they now live in the yoke. Not everyone is willing to go quietly into the endless night, however, and for every inch of ground they'd won, they had paid in blood and bone. At the end of it all, however, the demons stood victorious and all that was left to accomplish was the final cleanup of the human pests that infested occasional parts of the conquered world.
In one nearly uninhabitable part of that world, a very young such pest has come of age and, without understanding what it means, she walks in the shadow of destiny.
The demons have a lesson to learn, one last to be taught to them by humans, before they can call this world truly their own.
A cleansing fire can start from the smallest of sparks … and it is always darkest just before the dawn.
When war comes, the Earth is not ready.
An immortals war arrives, the only warning a flash of light and energy 660 million kilometers away. A curiosity, passed off to NASA and tucked away in a note to be ignored. Only the flash of light is not the end, it is the beginning. Admiral Zachary Quinn is about to have a very bad day, and he is not alone.
The war is here. Our response must be fast, it must be sure, and it must be victorious.
Who wants to live forever?

At the helm of a commandeered freighter, Captain Steph Michaels has infiltrated the Free Star systems. Leading a captive crew, and posing as a privateer, he’s on a mission to seize a precious resource from an enemy outpost. Backed by his Archangel Squadron, it’s a smash-and-grab operation he can pull off in his sleep. Until it isn’t.
Before he and his “pirates” can strike, they’re met with an unexpected obstacle. The mining compound they’re targeting also houses camps of slave laboring families. It’s an innocent population Steph refuses to sacrifice as collateral damage, and his morality will drive him to greater extremes than ever before. With a ruthless enemy commander facing them down, Steph will find himself in conflict with not just the Free Stars but potentially with the Empire itself.
The odds of victory? Impossible to foretell.

With violence exploding on all sides, when given a clear shot at the source of the chaos, they determine to take their chance.
