Free Sci-Fi ARC – Requiem of the Astral Throne

I’ve started sharing early copies of my upcoming book, Requiem of the Astral Throne, for anyone who enjoys sci-fi and wants to read ahead of release.

It continues the story from Oath to a Withered Star: Same crew, bigger stakes, and things escalate pretty quickly.

Joseph Young liked Kristina's review of Requiem of the Astral Throne (The Starborne Duology, #2): "I really enjoyed the action and emotional range of this book. It definitely kept me on my toes. And the endings!!! Seriously, choose carefully because they hold very different vibes. 🤭"

Joseph Young and 2 other people liked May Seelight's review of Requiem of the Astral Throne (The Starborne Duology, #2): "Loved the second book of this duology. Action heavy and character driven with two endings, each equally satisfying for very different reasons."

Joseph Young liked Deanna's review of Requiem of the Astral Throne (The Starborne Duology, #2): "This duology has a lot going for it! The characters had depth, and I cared about each one. The plot was well thought out and the battle/ fight choreography was action packed and intense. What I struggled with in book 2 was the writing style and prose." Read more of this review »
