Hyrax searches for new revenue to rebuild from its defeat. Maaraw revolts, Silangan is uprising. The occupied worlds bleed money. There is but one place left: Tirgwenin, Jareth’s world, wild and unclaimed. His colony destroyed, Morgan returns to Enskari to beg for rescue.

'A clever and exciting collision of space opera, high adventure, and devious politics. Insightful and highly entertaining!' – Jonathan Maberry, New York Times, on the Coronam series

As Jonathan Maberry says in the NY Times, "A clever and exciting collision of space opera, high adventure, and devious politics. Insightful and highly entertaining!"

Nearly a millennium after The Unsettling of old Earth, the new civilized worlds are on the brink of war. The planet Enskari, as an affront to tradition and the Prophet on Temple, has placed Zabel, a woman upon its throne. With the backing of the church, Brandon of Hyrax readies an armada to subdue Enskari and unite the system under a single ruleβ€”his own.

Meanwhile, an Enskaran group of separatists departs for the last unclaimed world of the system, Tirgwenin. There they will find something strange. Something low and connective, subtle and spreading. Something alien. Something truly threatening.
