Celestial Accord: The Selenite’s High Stakes Gamble and the 1891 Presidents’ Ball
The Moon has found its voice. Now it must learn to be heard.
Fresh from humanity’s first steampunk voyage to the Moon, the Free Peoples of Selene arrive in Galveston, Texas—not as curiosities, but as diplomats seeking freedom. Their cause is three centuries of lunar enslavement under a tyrant sustained by dark power, ancient bargains, and fear.
But Earth is not a simple refuge.
As presidents and world leaders gather for a glittering international celebration, the gears of global politics turn beneath the music, champagne, and polished smiles. The Selenite delegation must navigate a maze of power blocs, imperial ambitions, and diplomatic intrigue as perilous as any forgotten lunar ruin. Every alliance has a price. Every promise carries hidden leverage. A single misstep could doom an entire world.
Inventors and industrialists glimpse staggering possibilities in lunar technology—Tesla-driven wonders, new energy, new industries—while others see only profit, exploitation, and control. And far away on the Moon, a watchful enemy still holds the chains, waiting for Earth to reveal its true intentions.
Celestial Accord blends steampunk adventure, Victorian alternate history, and political science fiction into a high-stakes tale of first-contact diplomacy where battles are fought in ballrooms as often as on battlefields. It is a story of courage without certainty, leadership without experience, and the hard truth that freedom is never granted—it is negotiated, defended, and paid for.
The journey to the Moon changed history.
The struggle to free it will change worlds
