When the Emperor of Astua is blackmailed by the galaxy's most cunning criminal, Beres Franco, his quiet plans for revenge set off a chain reaction across the stars.
But his son, Garrison, refuses to wait. Seeing Franco walk free while his father stalls drives him to take matters into his own hands.
He calls on Leland Holland, a former military comrade turned GSM operative?a man who knows how to make problems disappear. Through Leland, Garrison meets Monique Strange, the sharp-tongued, fearless agent already running a dangerous sting on Franco. The GSM has hunted the crime lord for years, but now that the prince is involved, the mission threatens to unravel.
Monique doesn't take orders from royalty. Yet as their worlds collide, Garrison's determination and Monique's precision ignite a chemistry neither of them can ignore.
What begins as a takedown of one man spirals into something far greater. Franco is only a pawn in a vast conspiracy to seize control of the Onaterian Star System. At its center stands Ornul Disporella?a warlord who conquers worlds with charm, wealth, and ruthless ambition.
As treachery spreads through governments and alliances crumble, the GSM team must risk everything to expose the truth. The hunt for Franco will ignite a revolution?and the first spark is about to fall.
Darkness Hovering launches readers into a world of spies, magic, and interstellar power, where loyalty is fragile, love is dangerous, and vengeance can topple empires.
