Requiem of the Astral Throne (The Starborne Duology Book 2)

The war for the galaxy was never meant to be seen.

Captain Aris Solene knows this now.

After surviving the trials of Velmora and Ignarok, Aris and her crew carry the marks of ancient power and the attention of forces that do not forgive interference. As the Olyssian Accord accelerates its campaign, new worlds awaken, each governed by Guardians whose magic reshapes reality itself.

On Oquelis, a planet of endless water by day and lethal ice by night, beauty hides catastrophe. When General Talos strikes, the cost is immediate and devastating, leaving the crew scattered and forcing Aris into choices that test her command and her heart.

But Oquelis is only the beginning.

Beyond it lies Skyrend, a sky bound world ruled by wind, stone, and flying beasts where battles are fought without ground beneath one’s feet. As ancient powers collide and alliances fracture, the crew must split their efforts across hostile worlds, each path demanding sacrifice.

With the galaxy tipping toward open war, Aris is driven toward a final stand that will decide who controls the Astral Throne and who is lost in the attempt.

Because power does not guarantee survival.

And survival does not come without cost.
