The Empire Celebrations continue with Jayden at the center …or ‘performing monkey’ as he thinks of it, soon being offered a trip off planet with the very own Emperor once the celebrations have ended. However nothing is as it seems, already established powers are not happy with the new arrival and people thinking things would be easier without Jayden Benecote, acknowledged Battle Mage and potential Skandar around. Add to all this was ….a kiss and Jayden trying to figure out what that meant. The ‘kisser’ Aiden returns while on a hunting planet, quickly realizing the ones to be hunted this time are human …them.
This is a story of both magic and tech, NOT working well together, so there is magic (the Source) on the planets, and tech ruling the Void above. This is also about Empires and swords, destiny and politics. Lastly it is about a young man trying to discovering who he is. Note: This is a gay themed novel
Jayden and Aiden are now a couple, and under the protection of the Emperor, who has been poisoned. They head off to the planet Pherodite, where the Pherolite whoch fuels everything in the empire is mined, and find corruption everywhere; they stop what they can.
