The Psyker Saga #5
Princess
The inquisitor didn't back down. “I was told you two are connected—the phantom and princess.”
“Those are merely names on an assassin’s list,” I replied. "They only tell half the story."
In the dark, distant future, a nameless assassin is tasked with destroying a dangerous pair from a rival house. Three souls fall into the most heinous of all traps.
Kjoru Bronn , a High House assassin known as the Black Diamond, is given back her soul at the worst possible moment.
Maya Annick , an unfinished princess, holds extraordinary power yet suffers from the endless nightmare of her family’s demise.
Paric Kilhaven , psyker and so-called phantom, is forced into a deadly game where he must choose between the two and risk losing himself in the process.
Will the assassin, the phantom, or the princess prevail? Click Pre-Order to find out.
Part adventure, part mystery, this dystopian science fantasy novel is appropriate for Adult and Young Adult readers.

Stellar Adventure from Writer among the Stars
Well, at least, the story is. As usual, I will have to reread it to pick up on the finer plot points. One of the unexpected plot twists made me laugh. But I’m beginning to think that everybody is right and the main character should be killed, because he’s too dangerous to live, except that that would screw the whole story up. The solution to this conundrum is that his wife will kill him if he gets out of line, which is of course the solution for every man who’s worth anything.
