From Kwame Mbalia and Prince Joel David Makonnen comes an Afrofuturist adventure about a mythical Ethiopian empire. Sci-fi and fantasy combine in this epic journey to the stars.
Yared has traveled a long way to find
his place in the universe. Light years, even. Though the battle of Addis Prime
is over, the spacefaring Axum Empire is still fractured. The kingdom once gave
their technology away free of charge, to better humankind. Now, having been
missing for over a decade, they’re returning to the planet where their
galaxy-spanning civilization began―Earth.
But they find the planet in disarray.
Old Earth’s atmosphere is a mess of junked shuttles and satellites. This is
especially true of Debris Town, an orbital flotilla where poor spacefarers―left
to rot by the Intergalactic Union that rose up in Axum’s place―have taken to
piracy to survive.
Yared is set to speak at the opening
of the Royal Trials, a competition of the best exo pilots in the Sol System.
But on the day of his speech, the pirates launch an attack!
The siege sets off a chain of events
that will lead Yared into the depths of Old Earth―and the jaws of a cruel
betrayal. There’s more to the pirates―and Debris Town―than anyone saw coming.
