Serpent Song

The two-hundred-year promise between Aurethia and Griea has finally come to fruition, launching the Greater Universe into an era of advancement. But despite the combined powers of House Henly and House Volkov, the struggle to stop the spread of parsec sickness remains.

Ian North is a cage fighter with a dream: leave Shepard, become a bounty hunter, and live his life to the fullest.

Blair Ashby is the exiled progeny of a famous outlaw, evading their father's murderer by masquerading as a common criminal on a distant space station.

Kindra Malkin is the highest paid courtesan on Griea and the ice giant's deposed political strategist. Her brother, Kasimir - Bracken the Butcher's infamous executioner - is a post-mortem Augment, searching for independence.

The war for Aurethia has been won, but the battle for time, wellness, and safe space travel is just beginning. When Ian, Blair, Kindra, and Kasimir collide, four people running from the law become the very key to unlocking a potential cure for parsec sickness.

But everyone is hiding something. Ian is chasing an old flame, hoping to catch a spark. Blair is hunting their father's killer, intent on seizing their stolen legacy. Kindra and Kasimir are engaged in a shadow operation, funded by the most powerful man in the galaxy.

No one is safe, destiny is calling, and the future of the Greater Universe is on the line.

Serpent Song is book two in the Great Remaking, the first trilogy in the Greater Universe canon, and should be read after Aurethia Rising.
