Giovanna Olawale is a cybernetically enhanced scrapper from the galaxy’s forgotten rim, surviving on grit and the ruins of a war she never knew. When raiders destroy her home, her only shot at a future is the Grand Arena of Planet H, a gladiator spectacle where legends rise and vanish in the blood-soaked sand. With a prototype AI named N.A.T.A.L.I.E. in her head and more nerve than experience, Giovanna steps into the games hungry for glory. But Planet H is no ordinary arena. Beneath the roar of the crowd, something far darker coils in the shadows, something powerful enough to shake the galaxy. To survive, Giovanna must become more than a fighter. She must expose the truth buried at the heart of the games and seize a destiny far greater than she ever imagined… 

The frontier was dangerous enough, then the stars fell.Jonas Calhoun thought surviving the Civil War had earned him peace. Instead, the West greets him with lynch ropes, night riders, and a hatred that refuses to die. When a strange vessel crashes on the prairie, it delivers more than wreckage, it delivers weapons powerful enough to turn terror into law. As the Ku Klux Klan arms itself with fire from the stars, Jonas stands between his town and annihilation, backed only by his resolve and a silent metal giant that chooses to protect the innocent. In a land where evil calls itself righteous, the battle for Bethel Creek will decide whether the future belongs to monsters, or to those brave enough to stand against them.
