  • Queen Of The Seven Spheres

    James G. Clayton

    (Suburban Killbot, March 22, 2020)
    There are many accounts of how Queen Joan Anais Volais came to sit upon the throne. Of how a bastard daughter of the House Volais came to rule the Seven Spheres. Many words have been written, yet more spoken. Few know the truth. In one tale, Joan was smuggled from the royal estate to the sanctuary of Vallon, where she was hidden by a convent of the Sisters of Virtue. Other stories say she was disguised as a boy and taken to the free city of Ruelle, to be tutored by the legendary Knight Jean-Marc Coquard. The more outlandish tales speak of corsairs, of a young girl adopted by the scourge of the star lanes. And then there are those who call Joan the Daughter of Andraste, reborn in flesh to right a wrong and reclaim the throne from the traitorous House Bordas.Only Joan knows the truth, and in Queen Of The Seven Spheres, she shares her eventful and exciting journey to the throne. From finding a home with a group of thieves and street rats, to joining a band of mercenaries in search of vengeance against the Bordas. From sailing the void with a rowdy pirate crew, to leading an army into battle. From servant, to princess, to Queen of the Seven Spheres, Joan travels far and wide in her quest to regain the throne in the name of House Volais.
