    About this ebook

    Sometimes it's not our own life we'll fight to save.

    Kare's been hunted all his life. His mother, the cruel Empress, demands that he accept his place as her heir. His father's rebellion want him to stand as a figurehead for their insurgency. 

    When he refuses his mother's demands, she turns her wrath on those he loves. Kare knows he must face her. He returns to Abendau, his mother's city, to confront her. If he defeats her, he can reshape his future; if he fails, he'll face the horror of her vengeance. 

    A far-reaching Space Opera with strong characterisation and dark themes, Abendau explodes from the page.
     

    Praise for Abendau:

    'Devastating in its stark gritty delivery... a strong science fiction series from a thoughtful and intelligent writer'
    Allen Stroud, British Fantasy Society journal.  
    'A grimdark cousin to Dune and Star Wars'
    'A cracking read'
