The Outworlder
When two worlds clash, one man must choose a side.
​
When Aldeaith joined the army, he left everything behind. His world, his family, everyone who thought him a fool. The new routine gave him a sense of security, and fighting proved easier than talking to people. But the peace couldn’t last forever.
​
In the Empire spanning thousands of worlds, there are bound to be dissidents. Dealing with them is a part of Aldeaith’s job and the most advanced magic known to men makes it easy.
​
But no magic can help him when the rebels are people he grew up with. Now, he has to pick a side and prove his loyalty among mounting distrust.
​
To come on top, he must learn to navigate something trickier than any battlefield: other people.
The fate of the Empire depends on it.

​
But when he finds himself sailing the ship manned by the most beautiful men in existence, can anyone blame him for getting distracted?
​
Unfortunately, the sailors do not appreciate his attention, and soon he realizes that the giant tentacled monsters slumbering at the bottom of the sea, may be least of his worries.
