Book excerpt: CURSED BY PROPHECY. CORRUPTED BY POWER. When Eridani's parents are murdered and their kingdom is seized by a traitorous duke, she plans to run. After she suffers yet another unendurable loss, the lure of revenge pulls her back. Eridani's brilliance as a strategist offers her a path to vengeance and the throne, but success may mean becoming everything she hates. To survive, she must sway religious zealots, outwit ambitious politicians, and confront bloodthirsty warlords, all with few allies and fewer resources. Yet the most menacing obstacle she must overcome is the prophecy uttered by a powerful sorceress: Everyone you know and trust will come to betray you. Praise for Eridani's Crown With a world as intricate as the titular magical artifact and a cast of characters as morally complex as figures from real history, Eridani’s Crown is a nuanced examination of the drive to acquire power and its distorting influence on our ideals. This epic fantasy will have you turning the pages deep into the night and move you in the manner only the grandest of tragedies can. — Ken Liu, Hugo Award-winning author of The Grace of Kings I loved this smoothly written story of an intelligent, resourceful young royal who has to grow up fast after treachery and tragedy put her in mortal danger. Eridani must summon all her courage and cunning, as well as some newfound ruthlessness, to survive and steer her own fate. Action, intrigue, personal conflicts, and plot reversals will keep you turning the pages of this tightly-woven tale. —Laura Resnick, Campbell Award-winning author of the Esther Diamond series Full of complicated characters and moral ambiguity, Eridani's Crown is a fascinating and haunting exploration of one woman's quest for power. Shvartsman gives us a compelling and nuanced look at the tragedy of Eridani's success that will keep you riveted. — Tina Connolly, Hugo Award-nominated author of Ironskin A gripping tale of empire and conquest and the crumbling of good intentions in the pursuit of power. Shvartsman takes all your expectations and turns them on their head. — David Walton, Campbell Award-winning author of Three Laws Lethal Neither grimdark nor heroic, Eridani's Crown is a unique mix, with just as much heart as it has pitiless depiction of human failings and foibles. — Charles E. Gannon, Nebula and Dragon Award-nominated author of Marque of Caine Shvartsman skillfully confronts the ways power can corrupt in this smart political fantasy. ... Tight plotting and an intricately crafted universe will keep readers hooked. — Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: After a multi-generational journey, the first interplanetary colonization vessel christened The Pythias is approaching the star Eridani. On the third planet in the system, Elpis, a contingent from the ship will land and start a new society. However, there is trouble brewing on the ship as the societal change caused by the imminent departure of a portion of the crew is too much for some to bear. The planet will also have surprises for the colonizers when the biology of the ship and this new world clash. Events soon spiral out of control and the survival of both the colony and the ship are in doubt. The captain of the ship, Jerome Gates, and the commander of the colony, Dr. Laura Hansen, will need all their intellect and skill to try to save their people and salvage this most audacious human undertaking.

Book excerpt: Third book in the Carson & Roberts series, The Eridani Covergence picks up where The Reticuli Deception left off, with a callback to events of Alpha Centauri: Sawyers World. The Velkaryan ship Carcharodon finds itself in deep space. They divert toward 82 Eridani, a star with a settled planet, Tanith, not far off their course home. Star pilot Jaqueline "Jackie" Roberts just wants to run a little freight for a while and head home to Tau Ceti. But Ducayne, whom she owes for repairs to her ship, the Sophie, has other plans. He needs her to continue on to 82 Eridani to pick something up from one of his agents. Back at Alpha Centauri, archeologist Hannibal Carson has a near-death experience after a run-in with the Velkaryans. The mysterious Ducayne suggests he leave town -- in fact the whole star system -- for a while, and sends him to 82 Eridani to examine the object Roberts is retrieving. Carson, Roberts, and the Velkaryans aren't the only ones headed to Tanith. There are aliens involved, in more ways than one, and Carson & Roberts are in for some surprises. Meanwhile, the Velkaryans on both Earth and the settled planets are intent on gaining their own advantage, both political and -- if Ducayne's people are reading the signs right -- military.
