    “This is space opera at its finest.”—Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author on Only Bad Options

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy series with a rollicking new adventure that blends science fiction and fantasy with a dash of historical romance. The action-packed space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soulmates story and “Pew! Pew! Pew!” battle scenes. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, and Bridgerton.

    A WOMAN WHO CAN’T SEE HER ENEMIES’ PLANS . . .

    My name is Vesper Quill, and I’m good at figuring things out. Over the years, I’ve used my skills as an inventor and an engineer, along with my seer magic, to solve one hard problem after another.

    My current mission? Discover where the members of the Techwave terrorist organization are hiding and what deadly weapons they plan to unleash on the Archipelago Galaxy.

    With the help of Kyrion Caldaren, my truebond partner, I follow a series of clues to a distant planet. But the Techwave’s plot is much bigger and far more horrific than I ever imagined, and even the enormous power of our truebond might not be enough to help Kyrion and me save the galaxy.

    A MAN WHO IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME . . .

    My name is Kyrion Caldaren, and I excel at killing my enemies. As an Arrow, I spent years honing and using my telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other psionic abilities to defend the people of the Imperium.

    My current mission? Protecting Vesper from Callus Holloway, the greedy siphon who wants to tap into the power of our truebond connection. Too bad I have no idea how to kill Holloway or stop him from taking our magic.

    When Holloway and our other enemies put us in a desperate situation with only bad options, I vow in the coldest depths of my heart to give Vesper the bright destiny she deserves—even if I have to sacrifice myself.

    Monday Morning Mailbag — What I’m working on this winter …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG

    Question: What are you working on right now?

    Answer: A new year means new book projects. Woot! 😎

    Here is what I will be working on this winter:

    • Right now, I am working on revisions for my Robin Hood-esque romantasy book. That will probably take me about 3 weeks (or most of January) to finish.
    • After that, I will probably start working on the copyedits for Galactic Bonds #6. That’s another 2- to 3-week project.
    • And then I need to start working on my latest draft of the second book in my Robin Hood-esque romantasy series. That’s another project that will take me at least a few weeks to finish.

    So my writing schedule for January through March (and beyond) is already full, and this doesn’t include all the other things I do on a daily/weekly, like social media, updating my blog, newsletters, etc.

    As much as I love writing, it’s always a little stressful juggling multiple books/series and trying to meet all the deadlines. 😅

    MY MOST RECENT BOOKS:

    In case you missed it, here are my most recent books, which were released last year:

    A Touch of Treachery cover art with a man and a woman on a snowy background with an explosive in the distance
    Only Rogue Actions cover art with a couple on an orange background
    • A Touch of Treachery, Section 47 book #3: This is a full-length book with Charlotte Locke and Desmond Percy. The super-spy couple are hot on the trail of their nemesis, but their mission quickly goes sideways.
    • Only Rogue Actions, Galactic Bonds #5: This is a short book (about 55,000 words) about Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. The two are training to learn more about their truebond when they are targeted by a new villains

    Both books are available in ebook, audio, and print from all the usual retailers. Thanks for reading! ❤️

    What books are you all working on or reading right now? What’s on your agenda for the cold winter months?
