    About this series

    Once a penal colony of the Galaxy's most hardened criminals, Cygnus 5 is now home to the hopeful, the lost, the rejects and the rebels of a system that have left them to die. In a battle for the colony's survival, Aurora Campos—its defacto queen—awoke a doomsday machine left behind by the aliens who inhabited the world before her. Now the whole galaxy is at risk.

    Aurora and her band of misfits must prevent the entire human race from being turned into dust. She must save her people from starvation, rescue her kidnapped daughter and argue a planet into submission. The way her life has been going recently, it's starting to look like a typical Monday.

      Hell hath no fury like a woman wronged Taken advantage of by her superior officer, her career in ruins, war hero Captain Aurora Campos has been shipwrecked on a penal planet. Abandoned by her government, with no one to trust but the escaped deviant she was sent there to capture, she has a lot of rage to go around. They want her to disappear. To shut up. To stop making waves. But that's not going to happen. For Bryant Jones – the 'deviant' in question – Aurora is the villain. She's the war-dog of a Christian Fundamentalist state that conquered his world and arrested him for 'unnatural' crimes. 'Crimes' that were perfectly legal in his world. Yet in the face of a planet full of angry felons, it's a case of work together or die. And sometimes all it takes to light the fire that changes history is two victims united against a common oppressor. (Though discovering an abandoned alien doomsday weapon also helps.) ~ "This book is exciting and fun and poignant and just a cracking good read. It's very cool to read a sci-fi adventure where both main characters are people of colour and one of them is bisexual. It's not often in books that a genius queer black man and a staunch badass woman of colour get to save the world together and I absolutely loved that."

      Hell has no fury like a woman wronged In a Galaxy ruled under the righteous, iron grip of The Kingdom, Bryant Jones is a rare breed of rebel. Born on a planet of technological wonders, his world fell to The Kingdom, and their dictates, in a travesty of justice and might. His place was usurped and his mission of medical advancements was seen as perverted. Captured, tried and convicted of heinous crimes, Jones is on his way to a Penial Colony on the far reaches of the system… a colony he never intends to reach. Once the Heroine of the Phoenix Nebula, Captain Aurora Campos has been brought low by scandal and judgement. Her trajectory towards the highest Military position in The Kingdom has been redirected to prison transport commander, an assignment meant to humble, shame and possibly silence her. Yet none can quiet the Lioness and she is determined to see this mission through, while protecting her crew and her charges both. Neither knows what the future holds, or how soon their destinies will collide, slamming truth and faith together in an epic battle that may shatter the very core of The Kingdom itself.

      In this sequel to Lioness of Cygnus Five, the survival of the colony teeters on the edge. The alien city in which they have taken refuge turns out to be not so abandoned as they'd thought, and Bryant finds himself torn between his love for Aurora and his driving need to restore some of the ancient defences before the Kingdom attacks. Starvation is beginning to bite as the Kingdom forces tighten their stranglehold around the colonists, forcing them to turn to treasure-hunters and pirates for aid. Needed on site to spearhead the military resistance to Kingdom invasion, Aurora must send her most trusted people into the heart of enemy territory to beg for supplies and to rescue her baby, with no guarantee that when they return there will be anyone left alive to come home to. Yet survival may come at too great a cost if Bryant cannot control the secret he is awakening at the heart of Cygnus Five.
