There Before the Chaos

The propulsive start of a dynamic space opera trilogy featuring a gunrunning empress who must navigate alien politics and deadly plots to prevent an interspecies war.

Hail Bristol: former runaway princess, interplanetary gunrunner, Empress of Indrana.

When the Empire's closest ally asks her to intervene in a galactic military crisis, she embarks on the highest stakes diplomatic mission Indrana has ever faced.

Caught between two powerful alien civilizations at each other's throats, Hail has one chance to make peace, before all of humanity becomes collateral damage in a full-blown galactic war.

Praise for There Before the Chaos:

"An exciting dose of space opera and political intrigue peppered with hard choices. Highly recommended!" --Booklist

"Twisty and clever and magnificent, full of political maneuvers, space action, and genuine feeling." --Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger
