Set several centuries in the future, long after the Earth was lost to the Cataclysm, the story follows a diverse cast as they travel the stars. The main character is Athrun Williams, a young man from Mars that is burdened by failures and regret. Disgraced and fleeing from his homeworld, he has become a starhopper, a vagabond adventurer willing to sell his experience and skills to anyone, human or otherwise, that can afford his price. Athrun has been hired to become the head of security for an interstellar cruise liner, the Resplendent Princess. This starship carries passengers and dignitaries from all corners of the galaxy on a grand tour of charted space. It is a prestigious assignment, but Athrun sees it as only one thing, a ride home. Mere days from arriving at Mars, the Princess is beset by a number of mysteries. Unexplained interruptions to the vessel's power, reports of intruders in restricted areas, and the arrival of an enigmatic alien doctor upset what should have been a simple voyage. When the true threat is revealed, Athrun must face an enemy that has not been seen in the galaxy since the mythic age, when gods and dragons ruled the stars. The firstborn are coming back. Resplendent Princess is the first book in the Memories of Alsavon series. It introduces Alsavon, a vibrant, living galaxy steeped in ancient lore and thrilling intrigue. Plots and secrets emerge from the shadows. Heroes and monsters battle for survival. Magic and technology shape trillions of lives. Elemental warriors fight against evil in whatever form it may take. Dark gods and their servants prepare their masterstroke to bring Alsavon to its knees. Seek. Heal. Judge. Protect. The Void always wins in the end.
