He's an outcast, occasionally unstable, drinks too much... and unbeknownst to him, he's the galaxy's last hope. Kai Stormbringer, a human with the ability to channel a strange magical force called Aether, becomes a reluctant hero after one bad night forces him to put his trust in a cast of outlandish characters. Against all odds, and sometimes each other, they must put their differences aside to survive seedy underbellies, space battles, and a crazed Galactic Imperium captain hellbent on wiping out the few remaining Aetherials from existence. Chaos and Consequences is the first novel in the Aetherial War series, and will take the crew of the Midnight Crescent on a galaxy-spanning adventure across alien worlds. This is just the beginning of the conflict known The Aetherial War.
If you like Star Wars and Druids.... this is the book for you!
When Kai, a human Aetherial, meets Lilly (another human Aetherial) they embark on a mission to tear down the Emporer's terrible reign. The Emporer has worked tirelessly at committing mass genocide on Aetherials and Kai and Lilly may be the last two in the galaxy. They gather a band of misfits along the way and the witty banter and relationships between the group are a great reprieve from the near-constant battles this group endures.
Fair warning - this book ends on a cliffhanger that leaves you eager for book two!!
The world-building in this book is brilliant and sets readers up to explore even more when the next book comes... which I am eagerly awaiting! I can't wait to know more about each of these characters and I can't wait to see who else they run into on their journey! Nathan Doverspike is definitely the Sci-Fi author to keep an eye on! He has a unique voice and brings these characters and this world to life beautifully!
