Ren Argent wanted to be an archeologist and spend
her life exploring the lost cities of Earth. But when a new planet is discovered and her father is
appointed King, she has to leave behind everything she knows to rule over a
place she’s only heard of in legends.
Not long after her arrival she discovers there are
insurgents hiding in the darkened forests and the planet is on the brink of civil
war. It won’t be long until the
Monarchy steps in to “neutralize” the threat.
Will she be able to stop the hostile takeover? Or will her actions ignite a rebellion
across the universe?

EXCERPT
“He wants you to marry soon, but I think he’ll be
happier if you’re dead.”
Ren knew Garret was trying to get her to marry
someone on Novae but she hadn’t thought he’d be happier if she was dead. She didn’t think her death would benefit
him in any way, actually. Or
anyone, for that matter.
“Garret might be a snake, but he would be happier
if I just married someone,” Ren argued.
“He’d be happier if Elian was on the throne.”
That caught Ren by surprise. “What do you mean?”
“Maks cannot be controlled,” Sheridan cut in, her
voice low. “He does what he
believes is right and best for the people, not the Monarchy. Elian is not as strong as Maks; he’d
fold under their pressure.”
“Elian is plenty strong,” Ren said. “And if he were the King then he would
be great. He would--”
“Be easily controlled,” Abetha interrupted, “at
least Garret thinks so.”
Ren bit down on her bottom lip. “No he wouldn’t.” It was true though, and Elian had
plenty of weaknesses they could exploit.
All they had to do was threaten to take away his machines and he would
crumble. But Ren wanted to think
her brother had more integrity than that and shook her head.
“He would compared to Maks,” Abetha said
carefully. “The Monarchy is having
trouble keeping Maks under their thumb.
He isn’t doing what they want here.”
“And what is it they want?” Ren whispered. It was what she’d been trying to figure
out ever since she’d left Earth.
In the darkness, Sheridan answered, “Control.

My Thoughts on the book:
I liked the concept of owning a star because someone in
the past named it. The story also had
some other interesting concepts and a really good main character. Ren helped carry the story. The plot contained several surprises
and set up the next book in the series.
An interesting read with several possibilities for the next book.
