Sinopsis

In this epic science fiction tale by an award-winning author, two warring tribes are the subjects of a strange alien experiment. Epic in scope, peopled by characters from every strata of profoundly different societies, An Alien Light is an unflinching look at the strengths and weaknesses of the genetic, evolutionary, and historical inheritance that all of us share. Arys, a glassblower and outcast.  Jehane, a skilled female warrior.  Dahar, with a deeply inquisitive mind.  Grax, an alien with profound doubts.  These four and hundreds of others are thrown together in an experiment to determine the fate of humanity, both on Earth and in her galactic colonies. For the Ged, the stakes are nothing less than the outcome of a war. For the humans, ignorant of the larger situation, the rewards for participating are incredible riches. But no one except the alien Ged understands the criteria for being chosen.  When that knowledge comes, there is no agreement about if, how, or when to use it. Some will betray others. Some will sacrifice. Some will die. And some must succeed, no matter the price. Praise for An Alien Light“This heady mix of fantasy and sf explores humanity’s infinite capacity for change. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal

    While Light was busy clearing the Abyss of monsters so that he had somewhere to build his new kingdom, his former Concord of the Tribes cohort, Naano, was slowly slipping deeper into despair. Despite being showered with riches and securing a top job in the Dwarf Kingdom’s most distinguished smithy, the talented blacksmith felt the course of events was taking him further and further from his life’s goal: to craft the ultimate legendary weapon. However, an encounter with a human merchant puts him on a new, much darker path to fulfilling his dream, and with his goal now in sight, Naano will stop at nothing to craft a legendary sword, even if it means spilling the blood of countless innocents. Meanwhile, Light’s quest for revenge on Naano leads to him striking a deal with the ruler of the Dwarf Kingdom, King Dagan, but will aiding him to explore some vast, labyrinthine ruins replete with deadly traps and powerful guardians from which no one has returned prove to be an unwise undertaking?

    After crossing Sionne off his revenge list and sealing the tremor-causing interdimensional portal for good, Light returns to the Abyss, where his debrief is interrupted by news from Mei. She tells Light they’ve found his younger sister, Yume, who went missing after someone—or something—destroyed their hometown. It turns out she is still in the Human Kingdom after being rescued by Princess Lilith, who kept her on as a maid. While Light makes plans to bring Yume to the Abyss, he reminisces about his life since they last saw each other. He recounts the days after he was betrayed, going from merely surviving the Abyss with Mei to pushing past his limits, summoning more overpowered allies, and eventually transforming the world’s more notorious dungeon into his very own hidden kingdom. When Light finally meets Princess Lilith himself, they find they share a passion for improving humanity’s lot—but a dark secret plagues her kingdom.

So when she realizes that she’s been reincarnated as a hidden boss, she’s determined to steer clear of the protagonists and avoid her demise at their hands. All she wants is a nice, quiet life. Too bad when her gamer instincts kick in, Yumiella can’t just ignore her awesome stats... A girl’s gotta grind!
