The Sinistrati

Every connection hides a blade and suspicion is the air you breathe...



The Sinistrati are fierce warrior-sorcerers who seek to expand their control over the galaxy. The Archontate, an assembly of the seven fiercest Sinistrati rule for the enigmatic King Megadrian.
Archon Regent Ryon Tacitus serves as the liaison between the Archontate and the king. As the most powerful member of the seven, his house has no shortage of dark secrets and enemies.
Ryon's son, Ares Tacitus, the last born of House Tacitus, loses everything the day he is born.
Servants Mira and Eisen are the only other survivors of an enemy attack against House Tacitus and flee with the newborn, Ares.
After a tragic encounter with Archon Ryon Tacitus, Mira makes a promise to find Taro Wyn, a being with immense power who will guide the boy in reclaiming his birthright.
Mira flees Kendosa with Ares and builds a life on far away Acama, working for an archeological dig.
Years pass in the 'Tent City,' and with the hardships, they enjoy a few small pleasures until the truth of the boy's Sinistrati heritage catches the attention of the dig's foreman as the enemies of House Tacitus close in. Ares becomes the key player in a deadly game that could make or break his future.

E. V. Emmons has created an instant classic, artfully exploring all the best space fantasy offers. New worlds, touched by the possibility of a galactic war between the Sinistrati and the Ethosi, bring tragedy and betrayal, romance, and intrigue to this first volume of this epic new series.

This story is for readers who love epic-scale space opera with a heavy dose of dark fantasy and grimdark elements. If you enjoy the political maneuvering and dynastic struggles of Dune, combined with the morally gray protagonists and brutal action of series like Red Rising or the Warhammer 40,000 novels, this will be right up your alley. It's for an audience that appreciates complex world-building, high stakes, and a protagonist's harrowing journey through loss and vengeance.
