Description
WELCOME TO THE ABSOLUTION Aboard the stolen Absolution flagship, Icarus, Philip Arthur seeks revenge against the unseen prophet-killer beyond the Barrier, facing his demons as the ship pierces the void. But Philip Arthur was ever destined to fly too close to the sun...The Station Master Aphestan is crossing galaxies to find Naveen, and his Cen-Dith army are unlike anything humankind has engaged before. As the sun boils and an unprecedented disaster threatens Earth, the timing could not be worse. When the Barrier is crossed and a great deceit dissolves, the twin empires of humankind will know humility; while on Kiranis, as a familiar power moves towards the return of the Great Black Dragon......the secrets of the Universe are finally laid bare.

Reviews
"The fusion of science fiction and fantasy continues, and is well executed...less rushed and more rounded, containing fewer characters that receive a deeper, more intricate portrayal. The end result is a deeper, richer novel where, although the action is never missing, the characters and their motivations take center stage." I. A. Soledad, Author of the Descent Trilogy. "...a beautiful representation of even the least likable antagonists with descriptions in action and thought by multiple point-of-view characters. [...] fantasy elements that will delight hybrid-loving readers, including the god-like Naveen, portals, and the mother of all fantasy creatures, dragons...[t]he writing is exceptional and [...] there is no stopping the bullet train excitement of Kiranis, nor would I wish there to be." Asher Syed, for RF Review. "Meticulously planned, deviously plotted, and full of action and intrigue, spectacle and speculation, this is by a long shot the best of Kiranis so far. But that's to be expected in a series that gets better with each new volume." Goodreads
