    About this series

    Kusaan del.  It means 'divine finger'

     

    The Empire of Humanity is locked in a war for survival with the Fractal Demons.  Years on, the dice are still tumbling.  Billions have died and planets have been destroyed.  Meanwhile, an old loose end has resurfaced and forced Grace to confront a mistake from her teenage years - her son by a long-dead lover has lost his adulthood, and only Grace can save him from exile.

     

    But the Fractal Demons initiate a new strategy, and are starting to turn the tide in their favor.  Grace is unlucky enough to be assigned to deal with one of their first strikes under the new strategy, and she's unable to prevent several million deaths.

     

    But she's learned enough to master her problems, both as the new mother of a two hundred year old son, and as one of those defending the masses of the Empire from assault by the demons.  She has grown from her origins, and just because she seems to have a knack for attracting trouble doesn't mean she can't handle it.  When the divine finger points at her, she steps up to deal with it.

Grace has married into one of the most important families in the Empire - and Imperial politics are deadly at the top. Despite the risks, she discovers that there are advantages, both to herself and to her unborn baby. The Empire will never be quite the same again.

      The die is cast.   The Empire has caught the fractal demons marshaling troops for assault, and there is no avoiding the decisive Armageddon between humanity and the fractal demons.  Both sides have their strengths and there is no certainty about the outcome.  While the Empire is free-falling towards open war, Grace is tasked with nudging the odds a little bit, ferreting out traitors to humanity, bribed with the seeming of the most precious gift possible but with a nightmare catch.   Then at the moment of the first skirmishes, personal tragedy strikes, clearing the way for a long-delayed impulse, which results in horror and more personal tragedy.   But out of the disaster, a new Grace emerges - one ready to stand on her own, fully realized as a potent force in her own right.
