Five Light-Years to the Firesnake

Second Edition

Aedre wanted freedom and a job. What she got was a war.

After a sky-tube accident leaves her grieving and directionless, Aedre leaves her overbuilt planet and heads to the Firesnake—a rough archipelago where combustion engines still roar and the law looks the other way.

But trouble follows. When a local crime lord becomes obsessed with her, Aedre is pulled into a brutal underground trade built on fear, power, and silence. Strange dreams and visions lead her to a spirit guide, a secret power hidden in her blood, and a purpose she didn’t ask for.

Teleportation. Shape-shifting. Prophecies. They mean nothing if she can’t survive.

As violence closes in and a rebellion stirs, Aedre must decide who she’s fighting for—and what she’s willing to become to win.

Five Light-Years to the Firesnake launches a dark, visionary science fantasy series for readers who love mythic tech, dangerous women, and interstellar secrets buried in ancient bloodlines.
