On a lone wind-shaped world, the Motes are on the brink. Razor, a bold and fearless pilot, leads a last-ditch gambit against their local oppressors, the Targitians. The plan - abduct visiting Ambassador Keen Draden and use him as a bargaining chip to restore Mote independence on Kol-2. But when the operation unravels, Razor is forced to renegotiate terms with the arrogant diplomat.

Wind Tide #2 (2021)
A rogue street kid joins a warrior-philosopher to take down an empire...
The back alleys of the remote moonbase, Tarkassi 9, are no place for a lone teenager. Ailo's wits and fists are her means of survival, but she wants nothing more than to flee into the wider world of the Sagittarius Arm. That's where Jati, the Patent War veteran and general fighting the Monopolies gives her a second chance. Ailo's rogue status is just what Jati's People's Army needs to drive the final spike of victory into a weakening Garissian Council.
A team of experts assembles. Hope rests on Ailo's skill, stealth, and tenacity to pull off the impossible. But when an internal shadow rises, Ailo and Jati are forced to weigh the cost of revenge against honor and justice.

Wind Tide #3 (2021)
Can the secrets of a lost philosophy break the cycle of vengeance?
A mysterious and reclusive superpower threatens to extend its reach, colonizing new star systems for Wind energy and spreading a corrupt political empire. The People's Army, once the hope for a new federation of allies in the Arm, has dwindled to a mere spectator in the fight for political control.
Ailo's role in its revolutionary fervor is over. The esoteric philosophy of the legendary Cin Quinti is her only concern now. But when an unimaginable threat sends a political shock wave through the Arm she must weigh the cost of self-preservation, hiding in the shadows as civilization falls to despotism and tyranny.
