Summary

Flying an ancient alien spaceship, Starchild may have the key to saving the rebels. Only he wants no part of their war...until he meets her.

* * *

Tyranny rules the galaxy.

Taiberos has crushed every hint of rebellion. Like the grip of his cybernetic hand, he maintains a relentless hold on the populace. The power he hates most is the psionic magic of the song—a force so strong it flows out as light from the eyes. People with such powers are called radiances, and Taiberos’s Witch Hunters kidnap any that surface.

As the radiances slowly vanish, so does the galaxy’s hope.

Till Kalhette Whitesun, one of the last radiances, gives a risky speech, denouncing Taiberos and the extermination of her kind. The message spreads across the galaxy like the light of a supernova. She becomes revered as the uncrowned queen, the one with the power to finally unite the people.

And then doom falls—

In the form of the crushing hand of Taiberos. He captures Kalhette, sentencing her to the darkest dungeons and imminent death.

All hope is lost.

Until a lone pilot appears. A pilot who wants nothing to do with Kalhette or her rebellion yet who may in fact be the galaxy’s last hope. A pilot whose ship, the spirit, was created by an ancient alien race. A pilot who stole that ship from Taiberos himself...

A renegade pilot named Starchild.

Get ready for a book addiction like you haven't experienced since you were a kid.

The moment you open the book, you’ll be transported away at lightspeed.

So, are you ready to take an intergalactic leap?

Star Wars clone and a decent one to be Frank!

Was skeptical at the description but after listening to about 10 chapters I can say that despite the aforementioned imitation.
I love it.
Charecters, world building, pacing and the narration are top notch.
And I have not finished it yet.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
