The Eternal Empress has made her way to the Garran worlds, ready to bleed them dry. But Philip Arthur is also at Sieltor Prime, and he will need to choose between vengeance and alliance. With what he has learned of this universe, nihilism may indeed win out. Sent to Earth as vanguard of the empress, Janey Echad must silence the voices in her head if she is to face the great enemy to come. First she will face Mryra Yln, a Jaevisk Traveller alone in this galaxy, determined to bring his brothers and sisters home to sail again the Shimmering Seas and retake Kiranis. But Janey is not alone... Amidst the developing Garran occupation of Earth, a small force of humans and Garran must set aside their prejudices to focus on their common enemy. On Telena, the Si refugees are imprisoned on a devastated world, and while they seek escape, a more personal destiny is unfolding, as Becca Echad confronts the World Killer. As all this unfolds, the now adult Naveen has yet to become the Prophet, and many seek to control his destiny. But what is fated for him will set him upon a terrible path from which no one can turn him.Yet still Absolution awaits.

Ronald has degrees in Ancient History, and Theology; as well as a Ph.D. in Ancient Near Eastern Studies. He is a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, Battlestar Galactica, and Fringe; as well as a reader of Heroic Fantasy from the likes of David Gemmell, David Eddings, and Raymond E. Feist; and Sci-Fi like Scott Westerfeld and Eric Van Lustbader's Pearl Saga.He has been a Guest Lecturer in Trinity College, Dublin; and has taught Creative Writing to unwilling adults (!). Ronald lives with his wife, two daughters, and his Shichon, Monty, in Ireland, and has been writing since the universe began.In Kiranis, Ronald builds a universe and populates it with characters - human and alien - of familiar proclivities and relatable ambitions. Of both darkness and light he writes, blurring the gray areas of morality amidst an unfolding chaos of universal proportions. The Kiranis series is big and bold, with underlying philosophies and dark insights intricately woven into an epic Space Opera. Merging Science Fiction tropes with Fantasy staples (and with a dash of theology and philosophy), Ronald weaves an epic story that redefines and reinvigorates both genres.
