Through Burning Skies

The job was simple. The aftermath wasn’t.

Jaz and the crew of Nightfall were hired to extract a Dominion defector. What they got was a front-row seat to planetary genocide. With a corrupt League on one side and a fanatical Dominion on the other, they’re caught in a crossfire that was never supposed to exist.

Now stranded on a war-torn world with a damaged ship, too many refugees, and not enough weapons, Jaz is forced to make a choice: abandon the fight—or lead a last-ditch stand.

But something hidden stirs beneath the ashes of the conflict. And Nightfall has one final trick left in her hull.

Explosive, emotional, and cinematic—Through Burning Skies kicks off the Beyond the Eternity Line series with grit, momentum, and heart.

About the Book

Jaz is a war-scarred captain with a broken crew and a broken contract. When a job goes sideways on a backwater planet, he’s left with one option: fight his way out. But the enemy isn’t just a corrupt Dominion officer. It’s Whisper—an Ascendant, one of the galaxy’s most lethal Fluxweavers, and a living weapon in a gilded mask.

With refugees on board, a wounded pilot, and a ticking clock before the Dominion calls reinforcements, Jaz and his crew must stage an impossible escape. That means turning their aging starship into a trap, bluffing their way past a blockade, and unleashing every trick they’ve ever learned.

But survival isn’t enough. Jaz has seen what the Dominion does to the people it can’t control—and he’s not leaving without a fight.

If the sky must burn, let it burn behind them.
