The Moom Sea's Dreaming Snare

The Moom Sea was once a sacred configuration of stars, but a galactic war has left it in ruins. Now called the Kurai, or Great Darkness, it is a mysterious world scattered with battered defense stations and haunted necroplanets, its inhabitants renegades, traders, whores, and the ghosts of an imperialist people. Into this dangerous new world comes young Loran Bradley, the privileged daughter of a Terran senator, who has fled a sanitized and confining Earth. Her fiancé’s betrayal has reawakened her yearnings for adventure, and encouraged by Kat Vaucasson, an immortal creature with plans of her own, she has run away to be a mapping pilot among the wastes. Aboard the crumbling defense station, Loran is drawn to one of the few remaining Templars, Colonel Cameron McQuade, an artificial warrior who fought the dangerous Magna-Altans hand-to-hand and now alone of his kind, lives a solitary life training young pilots. Loran is enchanted by the shadows and ancient myths of her adopted home and is increasingly drawn to the colonel’s sense of honor and his kindness, but a dangerous being from Cameron’s past acquires the means to destroy worlds, and Loran’s new life is imperiled. She and Cameron must overcome their mutual distrust and fight with all their skill, intellect, and heart to overcome a threat that could obliterate what little remains of a sacred space older than time.
The Moom Sea’s Dreaming Snare introduces a new series of science fiction novels set in the Moom Sea, an uncharted space where the spine of time is broken and the past is no less present than the here and now.
