About

NOTE: The Prelude is a male-led novella. The female-led story starts in Part 2. Young colonist Kayla Barnes needs to become a super soldier if she is going to save her home. She would rather die than fail. The Helvetic League’s rule over Earth’s thirty-seven colonies is failing. Desperate to hold onto power, its corrupt leaders send notorious terrorist Allana Rayker to the new world of Caldera, where she uncovers a horrifying weapon, as old as civilization itself. After her father is killed in front of her, Kayla is rescued by a mysterious commando named Urtiga. She offers Kayla the chance to one day join Valkyrie; a secret force of enhanced female super soldiers that protect humanity from the abandoned war machines of an extinct alien race. But until she is old enough, Kayla must attend a top girl’s school and earn her place in the elite training. She finds herself studying alongside some of the galaxies’ wealthiest aristocrats, like the beautiful and talented heiress Rose Djallen, who believe that colonists like Kayla should be subjugated by the ‘superior’ Helvetic culture. To become Valkyrie, they both face a gut-wrenching selection course that forces most recruits to quit. As Kayla struggles to keep going, she finds that to succeed she will need not only courage, and humility, but also friendships so strong, she and her fellow warriors would die for each other as they prepare to face the most terrifying enemy imaginable. * Illustration & Cover Design by Joshua Griffin UPDATES: MON/WED/FRI
