society. And that is just what Adriana Corta did.As the leader of the Moon's newest "dragon," Adriana has wrested control of the Moon's Helium-3 industry from the Mackenzie Metal corporation and fought to earn her family's new status.

Synopsis:
"Her name is Binti, and she is the first of the Himba people ever to
be offered a place at Oomza University, the finest institution of
higher learning in the galaxy. But to accept the offer will mean giving
up her place in her family to travel between the stars among strangers
who do not share her ways or respect her customs.Knowledge comes at a cost, one that Binti is willing to pay, but her journey will not be easy. The world she seeks to enter has long warred with the Meduse, an alien race that has become the stuff of nightmares. Oomza University has wronged the Meduse, and Binti's stellar travel will bring her within their deadly reach.
If Binti hopes to survive the legacy of a war not of her making, she will need both the the gifts of her people and the wisdom enshrined within the University, itself - but first she has to make it there, alive."
Synopsis:
"It is the 147th century.
In the radically advanced post-human
worlds of the Amaranthine Firmament, there is a contender to the
Immortal throne: Aaron the Long-Life, the Pretender, a man who is not
quite a man.
In the barbarous hominid kingdoms of the Prism
Investiture, where life is short, cheap, and dangerous, an invention is
born that will become the Firmament’s most closely kept secret.
Lycaste,
a lovesick recluse outcast for an unspeakable crime, must journey
through the Provinces, braving the grotesques of an ancient, decadent
world to find his salvation.
Sotiris, grieving the loss of his
sister and awaiting the madness of old age, must relive his twelve
thousand years of life to stop the man determined to become Emperor.
Ghaldezuel,
knight of the stars, must plunder the rarest treasure in the
Firmament—the object the Pretender will stop at nothing to obtain."
