The Fractured Dark

Dying planets, dangerous conspiracies, and secret romance abound in the second book of the Devoured Worlds trilogy, by rising space opera star Megan E. O'Keefe. Naira and Tarquin have escaped vicious counterrevolutionaries, misprinted monsters, and the pull of a dying planet. Now, bound together to find the truth behind the blight that has been killing habitable planets, they need to hunt out the Mercator family secrets. But, when the head of Mercator disappears, taking the universe's remaining supply of starship fuel with him, chaos breaks loose between the ruling families. Naira's revolution must be put aside for the sake of humanity's immediate survival. Praise for the Devoured Worlds trilogy: Full of deftly plotted twists and turns, The Blighted Stars is a body-hopping, zombie-popping, rock-licking thrill ride. --Emily Skrutskie, author of Bonds of Brass Lots of action, lots of character, and lots of heart. Megan E. O'Keefe delights with every page. I couldn't put it down! --Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory The Devoured Worlds The Blighted Stars The Fractured Dark
