Crystal Crown

Staying alive won't be hard. All she has to do is abandon the children.

Crossing the Nullarbor desert, Jess McTiernan does not expect to become the unwilling guardian of a child Empress from a different world.

Jess is leaving her old life, job and abusive husband behind when the Empress Vi and her murderous pre-teen soldier companion fall into her life. On their heels are General Utara and a squad of vicious soldiers, determined to bring home the Empress's head - with or without the rest of her attached - and leave no witnesses behind.

Fighting to stay one step ahead of Utara's forces, while avoiding both the police and a shadowy government agency with mysterious goals, they will find the greatest danger lies much closer at hand.

The Crystal Crown is the first book in The War of the Exiles, a four-book modern-day sci-fi action adventure. Our world and theirs collide in this character-driven, fast-paced and thought-provoking high-concept novel.
