Queen of the Orbital Night

Empire in Freefall

"In the cold corridors of an orbital city ruled by syndicates and silence, one woman must choose between legacy and freedom."

She was never trained to lead. But no one else is left. And history has no place for hesitation.

Sayuri Takeda was raised far from Tenno-2—the orbital city her father once ruled with precision, paranoia, and iron will. While he built a criminal empire in the shadows of Earth, she lived under a false name, kept apart from the blood-soaked politics of the station.

Now, everything is collapsing.

Summoned back to the station after years in exile, Sayuri walks into a city on the edge of chaos—its alliances broken, its syndicates leaderless, and its ghosts wide awake. The people who remember her see a symbol, not a person. The enemies who watch her see a target, not a threat. And the legacy she never wanted is already being measured against her every breath.

She’s not here to be her father. She’s not even sure who she is.
But Tenno-2 is falling—and if Sayuri doesn’t take control, someone far worse will.

Dark, tense, and emotionally charged, Queen of the Orbital Night is a character-driven space opera about identity, power, and what it costs to step into the role the world has already written for you.
