First Line Friday – Dawn of Vengeance (Ronie Kendig)

Posted 4 December 2020 by Katie in Fantasy, First Line Fridays, Science Fiction, Speculative / 4 Comments

Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. I feel like I have been waiting F-O-R-E-V-E-R for this book to be out in the world, but Dawn of Vengeance will finally release next Tuesday, 8 December. I cannot begin to tell you how big a hold this series has on my heart. Even if you’ve never read a space opera or aren’t usually a fantasy/sci-fi reader, I encourage you to give this series a try, starting with Brand of Light

Also, Ronie Kendig will be going live on Instagram on release night, so make sure you’re there! @kendigronie

About the Book

A haunting prophecy upended his identity. Now it demands his life.

Once a formidable bounty hunter, Marco Dusan is plagued by insecurity as he tours the realm he now rules. This quiet, backwater planet is not as untouched as he’d once thought. Evidence of collusion between Droseran factions and the powerful Symmachians with their forbidden technology litters his encounters. Worse, all signs indicate Xisya, the alien who tortured him, is still snatching Kynigos Brethren–but to what end?

Lance Corporal Eija Zacdari works hard to win a coveted place on the Symmachian hyperjump program, but instinct tells her their intel is flawed. Despite nearly failing the tests, she is assigned to the team-and lands in the middle of a bewildering conspiracy.

Haunted by a prophecy that promises pain and war, Marco forges alliances to protect the primitive world against Symmachia’s devastating influence. But one truth becomes painfully clear: the biggest threat to their world may be much, much closer to home.

  1. Happy Friday! 🙂
    Today I’m sharing the first line from Julie Klassen’s novella, An Ivy Hill Christmas: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/12/04/first-line-friday-164/. It’s a great story. I highly recommend it. Currently, though, I’m reading To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette, so I’ll share a line from there:
    “Ronen had changed, although it had taken me no more than a few moments to recognize him when he’d arrived.”
    Hope you have an excellent weekend! 🙂❤📚

      My first line comes from Linda Thompson’s new book: The Mulberry Leaf Whispers:
      Saturday April 18, 1942 Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan
      Sub-Lieutenant Matsuura Akira paced the open bridge of Nitto Maru. He had drawn the watch, as usual.
