THE ARGENT
STAR
by Emerson Fray

BLURB:
Ren Argent wanted
to be an archeologist and spend her life exploring the lost cities of
Earth. But when a new planet is
discovered and her father is appointed King, she has to leave behind everything
she knows to rule over a place she’s only heard of in legends.
Not long after her
arrival she discovers there are insurgents hiding in the darkened forests and
the planet is on the brink of civil war.
It won’t be long until the Monarchy steps in to “neutralize” the threat.
Will she be able to
stop the hostile takeover? Or will her
actions ignite a rebellion across the universe?

Excerpt:
“He wants
you to marry soon, but I think he’ll be happier if you’re dead.”
Ren knew
Garret was trying to get her to marry someone on Novae but she hadn’t thought
he’d be happier if she was dead. She
didn’t think her death would benefit him in any way, actually. Or anyone, for that matter.
“Garret
might be a snake, but he would be happier if I just married someone,” Ren
argued.
“He’d be
happier if Elian was on the throne.”
That
caught Ren by surprise. “What do you
mean?”
“Maks
cannot be controlled,” Sheridan cut in, her voice low. “He does what he believes is right and best
for the people, not the Monarchy. Elian
is not as strong as Maks; he’d fold under their pressure.”
“Elian is
plenty strong,” Ren said. “And if he
were the King then he would be great. He
would--”
“Be
easily controlled,” Abetha interrupted, “at least Garret thinks so.”
Ren bit
down on her bottom lip. “No he
wouldn’t.” It was true though, and Elian
had plenty of weaknesses they could exploit.
All they had to do was threaten to take away his machines and he would
crumble. But Ren wanted to think her
brother had more integrity than that and shook her head.
“He would
compared to Maks,” Abetha said carefully.
“The Monarchy is having trouble keeping Maks under their thumb. He isn’t doing what they want here.”
“And what
is it they want?” Ren whispered. It was
what she’d been trying to figure out ever since she’d left Earth.
In the
darkness, Sheridan answered, “Control.”
