Millennia ago, the planet of Arcadia was wracked by a bitter civil war. The losing Cadian Lords, rather than submit to the pro-Republic First Lord, fled into hyperspace with their followers. Their convoy crashed on a distant world and fell into anarchy. Centuries later, the Cadian Lords wage seemingly endless Resource Wars over control of their system's natural resources. Political scheming and constant raiding on far-flung shipping routes have prevented outright warfare from consuming the Freeholds' tenuous grips on civilization. But now one House and its ambitious ruler have gained possession of ancient technology which might offer an edge over the other Houses. Yvonne Thibeau is willing to start a full-scale war to gain her goals, risking the very civilization she wishes to rule. The other Houses must put aside their differences and unite...or else the Cadian Freeholds will perish.
Born and raised in small-town Ontario, Matt Kirkby is a romantic dreamer who specializes in writing tales of high fantasy and pulp-style science fiction and space operas. He draws his inspiration from all diverse sources and ideas: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Pastoral Nature.
He started his writing career submitting fan fiction for numerous Star Wars and TransFormers fanzines, but has since moved on to writing professionally.
He published his first novel, A Wyrm In The Heart in 2004.
He lives a double life, writing classy sci-fi and fantasy for fun under his own name, and penning gay erotica under the pen name of Frank Sol.
When not writing, Matt spends his time helping his partner with his hand-crafted rocking chair business -- www.OffYourRocker.ca -- and trying to maintain some control over his cat. He still thinks that no gift is better than a new book.
