The Fractured Dark

Dying planets, dangerous conspiracies, and secret romance abound in the second book of the Devoured Worlds trilogy by rising space opera star Megan E. OKeefe.

Naira and Tarquin have escaped vicious counter-revolutionaries, misprinted monsters and the pull of a dying planet. Now, bound together to find the truth behind the blight that has been killing habitable planets, they need to hunt out the Mercator family secrets.

But, when the head of Mercator disappears, taking the universes remaining supply of starship fuel with him, chaos breaks loose between the ruling families. Nairas revolution must be put aside for the sake of humanitys immediate survival.

Praise for the series:

Character-driven science fiction at its best - a taut novel with human questions at its heart
