Carcalia’s Last Harbor – Book 1

Carcalia’s Last Harbor is an epic, character-driven science fiction novel of 160,000 words, the first in a planned five-book series (The Mozaic Era Chronicles). It stands alone with a complete arc, but seeds a broader saga. Readers of Ann Leckie, R.F. Kuang, and Frank Herbert will find familiar depth in its worldbuilding, but also a lyrical, character-centered voice that bridges political intrigue with intimate human drama.

When the Carcalian spaceports fall into rebellion, Captain Revlon Turquoise and his son Romano stand on opposite sides of history: father accused of treason, son caught between loyalty to Mozaic command and bloodline ties. In the shadows, Orlan Crox—pirate, mechanic, singularity—carries secrets that could fracture the Accord itself. And in Melrith’s swamps, Indra Icewarm, last daughter of the Albertus line, begins to awaken a legacy erased by the Grand Regent a thousand years ago. Their fates converge in Carcalia’s last harbor, where justice becomes theater, names become numbers, and survival demands sacrifice.

This novel is about family, empire, and survival—woven with political betrayal, rebellion, and quiet moments of love and defiance. The book blends the epic sweep of classic space opera with an emotional intimacy that drives every choice its characters make.
