Rise of the Covenant: A Lyra Expanse Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798251200072)

Book One of the Lyra Expanse Saga

The Astral Venture was supposed to save humanity.

For Mateo León, it nearly became his grave.

After a mutiny tears through Pillar Station, Mateo escapes into the lawless frontier of the Lyra Expanse with nothing but a stolen ship and a crew of survivors. The new galaxy humanity hoped to claim is already crowded-with alien civilizations, ruthless factions, and secrets older than human history.

Among them are the Luminara, a fractured people fighting a desperate resistance against forces that threaten their survival.

Drawn into a conflict he never asked for, Mateo must navigate treacherous alliances, black-market trade routes, and the brutal politics of a frontier where trust is rare and betrayal is currency. What begins as a fight for survival soon grows into something far more dangerous.

Because in the shadows of Sylvan's underworld, Mateo is building something new.

A rebellion.

And if the Covenant succeeds, it may change the fate of the Lyra Expanse itself.

A gripping queer space opera of rebellion, found family, and alien intrigue-perfect for fans of The Expanse and epic science-fiction adventures.
