Imperium of Terra Series

Almost 400 years the Terran Imperium has languished, an Empire in name only. The young colonies exploded out of the Diaspora Era, supplanting the homeworld in importance as they left a broken world in their wake. Earth's people, guided by the Conwin line, have clawed and climbed from the darkness left the night the lights went out. They built and rebuilt the weary and weakened world they inherited, even when it seemed bent on killing them from sheer spite.

The Earth has been the loving mother of humanity for thousands of years, but now humanity has left the cradle broken in its efforts to reach the stars. Those left behind have not fared well, but the efforts of the Conwin family and others have held the world together . . . oft time with an Iron Fist, but successfully nonetheless amid the strife since the lights went out.

Jinsha Conwin was born to rule the galaxy, but now she is just another refugee hiding in the furthest corners of the Antares Cluster. With her mother assassinated and the Throne seized by the usurper Lord Jaol, Jinsha has only one asset left: Eryn Aubrey. Young, lethal, and trained by the legendary Legion, Eryn is the only thing standing between the exiled princess and an Empire that wants her erased. They have found sanctuary on New Caledonia, a storm-wracked backwater world where they hope to disappear among the locals. But war does not respect sanctuary.
