About the book

The emotional First Sister trilogy comes to a sensational climax in this final installment, and is a must-read for science fiction fans everywhere.


Astrid is finally free of the Sisterhood, yet her name carries notoriety. Those she's inspired call her the Unchained; those who want her voiceless once more, the Heretic. Now Astrid uses her knowledge of the Sisterhood's inner workings against them, aiding the moonborn in raids, all the while exploring the mysteries of her forgotten past.

Meanwhile, The Sisterhood, thrives under the newly appointed Mother Lilian I, who's engaged in highstakes politics to rebuild the Sisterhood in her own image. The evil of the Sisterhood can't be purged with anything less than fire . . .

Hiro val Akira is a rebel without an army. As protests rock the streets of Cytherea, Hiro moves in the shadows, driven by grief and vengeance, as they hunt the man responsible for all their pain: their father . . .

Transformed by the Genekey virus, Luce navigates the growing schism within the Asters on Ceres. Hurting in her new body, she works to bridge two worlds seemingly intent on mutual destruction. All while mourning her fallen brother, though Lito sol Lucius's memory may ultimately live on.

Yet Souji val Akira stands in judgment on them all, plotting the future for the entirety of humanity, and running out of time before war erupts between the Icarii and Geans. But can even the greatest human intellect outwit the Synthetics?

Linden Lewis

Linden A. Lewis (she/they) is a queer writer and world wanderer currently living in Madrid with a couple of American cats who have little kitty passports. Tall and tattooed, Linden exists only because society has stopped burning witches.

While there is a 95% chance Linden is a cryptid, they can often be spotted in the wild cosplaying or acting (yes, they appeared in an episode of The Walking Dead).
