The Goddess & The Empress

The corpse of the Empress' Champion is not yet cold in his grave when Valian Styrke – the man responsible for besting the Dreadnaught – is called upon to resolve a quest that will restore the Empress Pelania to her throne. While he is engaged with that task, his Order is responsible for keeping the Empress alive and securing the abandoned property of her family.
But don't forget… there is a divine creature that wishes to use the already burdened man against Fate herself. The Goddess Zorkaysha would have Valian tread through the Astral Realm to find and bring to her the Eye of Fate. She could care less if that means he has to go against the stride of life feared throughout the Rims.
This leaves our KnighT fighting on countless fronts while being stuck between The Goddess & The Empress…

"A venturesome sci-fi/fantasy novel for readers who really want their action set where no man has gone before." - Kirkus Reviews
