The first book in the epic Sci-Fi Fantasy series: Ages of Atalay!

Even though every strand of his ancient DNA was carefully crafted for godhood, Prince N'damu Atalay felt typical at best.

Circling the Second Sun, humanity's greatest dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse as the mantle of king soon passes to the young and uncertain prince. In the shadow of his proud father, a decorated hero-king, N'damu must overcome the dangerous trials of ascension their ageless civilization demands. Crippled by self-doubt, he must embark on a spiritual quest to commune with the planet and bring clarity to his destiny.

Besieged by betrayal and heart-stricken by forbidden love, N'damu is forced to tame the wild beasts of his homeworld and prove worthy of his people's faith. Power-hungry usurpers crawl out of the shadows to rise against Atalay in their time of vulnerability, forcing the prince to choose between wisdom and legacy-exception and tradition. All his life, he'd been told the power of his ancestors flowed through his veins, but will he find it when humanity needs him most?
