Morgan Biscup has proven that there are new ideas under the suns. You can't put this book down. Well, you can, but someone will raise it up again, just to spite you.

Book Cover for "In Spite of the Inevitable," by Morgan Biscup, showing a stern-faced orange-eyed man wearing janitorial coveralls and nametag "Shane," clutching a mop in one hand and a gold chain in the other. The hand with the gold chain has black smoke with white stars wrapping around it, while a bright-colored insect whispers in his ear. A reflection of a white wolf with yellow eyes in full white and brown dress uniform growls over his other shoulder, while a blue and teal planet with stars behind is visible through the window.

Mordena Dawn, Book One

The past isn't the only thing that won't stay dead.

Hiding from his violent history as a revered Void necromancer within the Sparnell Confederation, single father Shane Lawrence has finally built a quiet life. On the freehold planet of Baden he can pour his energy into the only thing that now matters: the safety and upbringing of his precocious son, Jake.

All too soon, the Confederation targets Baden for annexation, confronting Shane once more with his treasonous past. Worse, the invading force is led by none other than Shane's manipulative former mentor, Admiral Kydell.

Shane's every instinct screams to run, to hide Jake even further from Sparnell – but Baden is home. This time he could choose to make a stand and defend the entire planet, not just his son. But that means turning to the very skills he swore he'd leave behind…

In Spite of the Inevitable is the first installment in the five-book Mordena Dawn space opera fantasy series, detailing the founding of the costly Mordena mercenaries and their rise from piratical deserters to ferocious and effective defenders of the independent Freehold planets. When powerful galactic empires seek to devour innocents whole, there's no hired force better prepared to stand against them.
