Centauri Rising
About this ebook
Stranded in Centauri space after a near-fatal victory against the Galactic Unity Alliance, Raya Langton and her team launch a desperate search for her missing sister—only to uncover a vast conspiracy of genetic manipulation that could redefine the future of humanity.
As the unacknowledged daughter of Centauri’s rightful primara, Raya is reluctantly thrust into the heart of a rebellion she never chose. The Unsworn—ragtag fighters bound by honor rather than oath—now look to her for leadership in a war they may be destined to lose.
When Raya and her battle-hardened crew unearth ancient Aeternai technology of unimaginable power, they find both a possible salvation—and a path to devastation. This long-buried relic could shift the balance against the GUA’s overwhelming might . . . but unlocking its secrets may demand a sacrifice too great to bear.
With the enemy fleet closing in and loyalties fracturing, Raya must choose between love and duty, survival and surrender.
In the cold void between stars, one woman’s choices will determine not just the fate of Centauri . . . but the future of all humanity.
About the author
Teyla Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has a bunch of kids and some grandkids as well, so her life can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. Teyla writes novels full of mystery, romance, and imagination. She’s been known to wear pajamas all dinner—well, when she remembers to cook it. She loves going to the beach with her husband, hanging out with her grandchildren, and riding very tall rollercoasters. She loves writing, traveling, shooting guns, and reading. She has worked in the publishing business for over twenty-five years. Teyla writes urban fantasy (Unbounded series), paranormal romantic suspense (Imprints series), and science fiction (Colony Six series). She also writes contemporary romance (Lily's House and Finding Home series) and romantic suspense under the name Rachel Branton.
