They set out to kidnap a rich kid. They grabbed a princess instead.
Korvira, Crown Princess of Vorcalix, was enjoying a rare day among her people—until a moment of chaos ended in her disappearance. The crew meant to snatch a textile heir. But when one of them recognized Korvira, everything changed… and now they’re in way over their heads.
Because someone will come for her. And they should pray it isn’t him.
When word of the abduction arrives, there’s only one team the King trusts with his daughter’s life: Shepherd Security Services. Led by Alex Hawke, the crew must unravel the truth, outpace planetary politics, and find Korvira before the galaxy’s most dangerous rescue mission becomes a funeral.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited launch of the Magellan begins a search for something lost to a coffin ship’s fried datanet: Earth.
A kidnapped princess. A desperate mission. And a galaxy about to remember why you never cross the Shepherd.
Vorcalix delivers high-stakes action, layered intrigue, and the search for a former home.

9:08pm In the comment thread of Saturday’s post (9 November 2024), Kevin asked a couple good questions that I feel require a more in-depth answer than a reply in the Comments thread. So, I decided to start today’s post by answering those questions. To save you time,…

11:46pm Given the time at which I’m typing this, the post’s date when I finally finish and publish will probably be 10 November, but I imagine that’s largely academic. Back in June, I attended my very first writing retreat. While there, I met someone I have added to…

10:32pm It has been a little while since I wrote a post here, but like my newsletter, I often only make a post (or send an email newsletter) when I have something that people who follow me may find interesting. If you pay any attention to the categories of my posts,…

6:33pm First off, Knightsfall Press’s site is back up. It has been back up since somewhen around the 6pm hour yesterday (Eastern), but I did not circle back to make that announcement. Yay… right? Alrighty, then. Moving on! As the tags for this post show, I want to…

7:09am So, I was a day late in doing the PHP update I mentioned in my previous post. You may or may not have noticed by now that my publishing company’s site (https://knightsfall.press) is currently non-functional. I do not think it’s a server issue, as my site and…

At the start of this week, I did something I’ve been wanting to do for several years now. From Sunday evening (August 11th) through Tuesday morning (August 13th), I was at Blackwater Falls State Park. I stayed in a Canyon View room, and TL/DR, it was a wonderful…

11:05am It has been an interesting 48-ish hours. I published Tempus yesterday. It’s my 16th novel and 21st title overall. I made a post on my author Facebook page (which I won’t link here, because if you’re reading this, I’d prefer you keep coming here for updates),…

8:36am July did not end like I would have preferred. Not at all. On Tuesday, July 23rd, I started feeling a tingling sensation in the vicinity of my left sinus cavity. Years ago, this would’ve heraled the onset of a sinus infection. Nowadays, it heralds the onset of…

I have been having really good days for the most part. How do I define ‘good’ days? Why… I’m glad you asked. Lots of writing, of course! (I’m kinda surprised you didn’t guess that, but I digress.) On July 12th, I finished Colfyr, the second story in my new Shepherd…
