Perfect for you if...

You want space opera that treats magic and technology as equally powerful forces, not genre window dressing.
You like protagonists who aren't naturally gifted heroes but have to earn their power through cunning and ethics.
You enjoy intricate plots where one person's actions ripple across an entire star system.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels over series commitments.
You need your space opera heroes to be physically imposing or conventionally heroic.
You want primarily character-driven intimacy over large-scale political and military stakes.

About this book

Three years after fleeing from pursuers, Damien Montgomery has been recruited by the Mage-King of Mars to serve as an aide and apprentice to one of the Protectorate's warrior-judges, known as the Hands of the King. Though young and inexperienced, Damien possesses rare and powerful magical gifts that the Mage-King intends to develop. When the world of Ardennes experiences unprecedented murder and violence, a Hand is assigned to investigate. Suspecting hidden treachery, the Hand uses Damien as bait to expose the traitors. As the conspiracy unravels and a Hand falls, Damien must confront forces far larger than himself. This 10th anniversary edition marks the release of newly revised versions of the first five books in the Starship's Mage series. The original novel was initially published as serialized Kindle episodes before being combined into a single volume in 2014.
