The Legacy: Dax (Prequel to the series) will be in the hands of my editor no later than tomorrow (Monday, February 13th).

I started the story over two years ago after readers asked me questions about things that happened in book two and three. Health issues made this a long and difficult process, but it finally came together.

For those who read the series, in part or in full, Dax will answer about everything. For those who have not, it will give insight on things that actually happen later.

In short, Dax is a standalone that can be read at any time.

Here's the blurb I will probably go with:

Blood spattered my face and chest while the screams of the tortured man resonated within the walls of the chamber. The severed arm that fell in my hands almost slipped to the floor.

"I wonder what he'd look like with arms instead of legs and legs instead of arms," someone said. The medics stood ready to cauterize and heal any injuries so the fun, as they called it, would last. Fifty times, they would resurrect him before mercifully letting him go.

Because I was the youngest of the navigators, I always felt I had something to prove. When the need to infiltrate this brutal and amoral society presented itself, it sounded like the perfect opportunity. Now, I need to learn the secret behind their invasion plans and leave before I lose my mind.

As of today, I have spent exactly eight months, two weeks, and five days, undercover with the Ksarrichis.
