WHEN FACED WITH ITS GREATEST CHALLENGE, WILL HUMANITY RISE TO TRIUMPH
OR FALL TO RUIN?

Aurora Rhapsody is an epic tale of universe-spanning adventure, of the thrill of discovery and the unquenchable desire to reach ever farther into the unknown.
It's a tale of humanity at its best and worst, of love and loss, of fear and heroism.
It's the story of a woman who sought the stars and found more than anyone imagined possible.

AURORA RHAPSODY consists of nine books, grouped into three sequential trilogies - Aurora Rising, Aurora Renegades and Aurora Resonant - as well as multiple short stories.

All the short stories are available for FREE to readers. With one exception (Restless II), the short stories can be read at any time, in any order, with or without having read any of the novels, and need not be read at all to follow the main storyline.
