Earth was never meant to be found…
For eons, Earth's existence has been hidden from the Interstellar Concord, and ruled in secret by a small circle of immortal elites known as Praetors. The most powerful among them is Adrian Morgan, and he just happens to be the wealthiest man on the planet. Aldric Vale is stranded on Earth yet again after Adrian Morgan locked him out of the jump gate back to Concord. What's more, Adrian has revealed a terrifying secret about Aldric's own past. Forced to grapple with uncomfortable truths, Aldric's only allies are his murderous android co-pilot, Nexara, and investigative journalist, Lena Hart, a woman who now fears him almost as much as their enemies. Aldric must find some way to reconcile with his past, reactivate the gate, and expose Earth's existence before the Praetors silence them for good. But the gate is under Morgan's control. And he is hunting them. Every move they make tightens the noose. If Earth rejoins Concord, the Praetors lose everything. And if it doesn't, its people will never even know what was stolen from them. Starborn: Lines of Succession is a high-stakes science fiction thriller about hidden empires, inherited power, and poisonous family ties.
