Excerpt:
“Well, when the Monarchy showed them this,”—Garret
nodded to the paper—“and their current Prime Minister dead, his successor was
very willing to pass the torch.”
Ren inspected the paper closer while Elian tried to
remember what a Prime Minister was.
The only words she could make out were “Star Deed” and “Meredith
Argent”, along with a seemingly random set of numbers.
“Something that isn’t widely known is that back on
Earth in the latter twentieth to early twenty-first century, people would gift
stars to each other,” Garret explained.
“Seriously?” Elian asked.
Garret nodded. “And in 1984, a man named Daniel Argent gave his girlfriend
and soon to be wife a star for their wedding. Ring any chimes?”
“Bells,” Ren corrected. “And yes, it does.
Are you saying because our ancestor named a star, through a company that
doesn’t have any right to name stars I might add, that we own it now? And by default, the planet that orbits
it?”
“Absolutely,” Garret said with a grin. Ren had hoped her corrections would
make him think twice before opening his mouth, or at least put a damper on his
mood, but it did neither.
“You are now the royal family of the planet
Novae.” Garret bowed towards the
new royals. “Welcome to the
Monarchy.”

BLURB:
Ren
Argent wanted to be an archeologist and spend her life exploring the lost
cities of Earth. But when a new
planet is discovered and her father is appointed King, she has to leave behind
everything she knows to rule over a place she’s only heard of in legends.
Not
long after her arrival she discovers there are insurgents hiding in the
darkened forests and the planet is on the brink of civil war. It won’t be long until the Monarchy
steps in to “neutralize” the threat.
Will
she be able to stop the hostile takeover?
Or will her actions ignite a rebellion across the universe?
