Life is never simple and especially not for Carina Lin. Bloodthirsty tyrants, savage aliens, and vicious adversaries are just a few of the challenges she’s been forced to overcome on her galactic voyage to the birthplace of mages: Earth. Against all the odds, she’s made it. Eager to discover if the planet is a safe place for her and her family to openly practice their "magical" abilities, she travels to the surface. What she finds there confounds all her expectations.

Carina Lin, her mage family, and her mercenary band are on the final leg of their long journey aboard the colony ship, Bathsheba. But to reach their destination, they must cross a region of barren space, where habitable planets are few and friends are rare. If Carina is to reach Earth, the rumored birthplace of humankind and hoped-for sanctuary for the mage clan, she must defeat the terrors that lurk outside and within her starship.

Carina Lin has found her long-lost mage kindred, but her joy is tempered with pain. One of her half-siblings is a dark mage who is planning to lead a powerful clan to galactic domination.

An ancient war reignites. When Taylan Ellis saved the life of the woman who wanted her dead, she unknowingly sparked a chain of events that promises to reawaken a war between ancient rivals. Blissfully ignorant of what she’s done, Taylan has resumed her search for her children in the West Britannic Isles, among the cultish Crusaders, hostile invaders of her homeland. To remain anonymous, she adopts a bizarre disguise and mercilessly plays upon their ridiculous beliefs. Meanwhile, the global powers are ramping up for a confrontation that will decide the future of humanity.

All her life Cariad had one dream: to participate in humanity’s colonization of deep space. After topping her field as a geneticist, and then spending 184 years in cryonic suspension, she’s achieved her goal. But the new planet is not the paradise the scientists predicted. Alien predators come out at night, ready to feast on the new arrivals. What’s more, saboteurs have stowed away aboard the ship and are determined to destroy the new colony.

Fighting for freedom from galactic tyranny, General Cherry Lindstrom is responsible for the defense of the colony world, Concordia. This last outpost of human civilization lives under constant threat of attack from hostile aliens who claim the planet as their own. But decades have passed since the last assault, and the colonists have grown complacent. Thanks to the effects of time dilation, only Cherry and a handful of others remember the devastation wreaked on Concordia previously.

The global war is over, but a new threat to human civilization has emerged. What the threat is exactly no one knows, yet the Britannic Alliance is doing all it can to protect Earth. A new starship capable of interstellar travel, the Dauntless, is under construction. Meanwhile, Taylan Ellis’ search for her children continues. She must get to Australia to help in the hunt for the Crusader child traffickers, but she can’t even afford the ticket. Will the Dauntless save Earth? Will Taylan be reunited with her kids? What is the connection?

General Cherry Lindstrom made a decision that killed millions of a friendly alien species and threatens the future of humanity. A deadly poison is creeping across the surface of her planet, but the allies of humanity won’t reach Concordia in time to mount a rescue. While the scientists battle to find a way to neutralize the lethal toxin, Cherry is chasing down another threat: an enigmatic visitor who arrived just prior to the chemical attack. Her guts tell her the new arrival is up to no good, but others think she’s wrong.

Treachery and sabotage have dogged the early days of the Nova Fortuna colonization project, and worse problems lie in wait. The data the colonists received about their planet was wrong. No one knows what predatory life forms threaten the colonists. Ethan makes it his job to find out. At the same time, geneticist Cariad tries to root out any remaining saboteurs while also working to rebuild the colonists’ gene pool.

All that remains of human civilization is a fledgling colony on Concordia, a planet light years from Earth. Infighting and disaster dogged the colony's earliest days, but through the determination and bravery of a few individuals, the remnants of humankind have clung to existence. One of the grittiest of these characters is Cherry Lindstrom. A farmer turned freedom fighter, she helped to lead the generational colonists rebellion. Now she must travel to the Galactic Assembly and persuade the leading powers to accept humans into their alliance.

Humanity's last stand. An attack by unknown aliens has devastated the Nova Fortuna colony. Its long-term survival seems impossible. But the colonists aren't going down without a fight. Ethan must prepare the Gens for their final battle. Geneticist Cariad must decide whether to reactivate the sinister Guardians to aid in the colony's defense. Earth is lost. The new world settlers are without hope. When the moment to decide humanity's fate arrives, will they be ready?

When Taylan Ellis found her kids, she thought her life of adventure was over. She looked forward to raising her children on a peaceful new Earth, where the scientific revelations of friendly aliens are changing the world for the better. The Britannic Alliance has other plans for her. Skein mappers, who chart the newly discovered connections between all things, say Taylan still has a role to play. The Alliance asks her to travel with her children aboard their latest starship, The Defiant, to challenge the hostile entities who threaten the planet with their deadly games.
