About the Series

A trilogy about rebellion, duty, and the cost of self-government.


The Breakaway Stars is a political and military science fiction trilogy about rebellion, duty, power, sacrifice, state-building, and the cost of self-government.

For generations, the Dominion held the stars. Thirteen worlds bent under its authority — until they didn’t. The rebellion changed everything. But winning was only the beginning. Now the Thirteen must build something worthy of what they sacrificed. A republic. A future. A lasting order.

Not all of them believe the same republic is worth having.


Book One

The Breakaway Stars

The Fire of Thirteen Suns

● Now Available


The Dominion has ruled the stars for three centuries. When the Thirteen finally break, the rebellion costs everything: soldiers, senators, sons.

The war is won. Now comes the harder part. The delegates of the Thirteen must build a republic from the wreckage of empire — before the factions within tear it apart, and before the Dominion remembers where it left its fleet.
