BONES OF STARLIGHT

1: FIRE WITHIN

In this universe, humanity is allied with elemental Dragons & expressive Aquari, forming the glorious Pan-Galactic Imperium. Dozens of planets possess distinct cultures within ten federets, while intergalactic megacorporations war and innovate ferociously under the 24-generation rule of the Magus family on the capital human homeworld of Alisandre. Scion Princess Soleil, a brilliant young woman maturing from her promising upbringing, becomes the target of undercurrents of unease. These gathering forces are affecting people far and wide, of surprising kinds: a lone private investigator, a corporate agent, rescue volunteers, a young drifter, famous artists. Drawn together through growing catastrophes, their decisions catapult them into unprecedented roles. Though all may be lost, the next age turns over the horizon.

2: ABYSS SURROUNDING

Motives of shadowy forces become clearer, while those of power and authority get called into question. Threats that have declared themselves begin to fray the might of an unsinkable society. The coalition menacing the world order welcomes the slim hope of Soleil as a rogue emissary, who begins to forge bonds of respect where precious few exist. The involvements of others throughout the Pan-Galactic Imperium and beyond, from Dragons to independent thinkers getting a clue, are becoming inextricably entangled in cascades of connected fortunes. Breakthroughs are imminent. Movements are beginning to surface that may turn everything

inside-out... and perhaps it's time that they do.

3: GREATER BEYOND

The Pan-Galaxies experience the clash and transformation of collective thought into action, when that which cannot change is faced with that which must. The prominent and seemingly unimportant are gathering together, and the deepened sentiment in unexpected fellowships carries complicated people through complicated times. People now familiar find their varying destinies as Princess Soleil takes this journey home. Resonating with powers of the fantastical and the advanced, resolution is sought within the ongoing maturation of a society, while the family royal adjusts with the world.
