BEHIND THE THRONE

A Star Wars-style science fiction debut to launch a new adventure trilogy with massive commercial appeal. BEHIND THE THRONE offers a winning mix of non-stop action, intergalactic battles, warring kingdoms, and an ass-kicking heroine not unlike Rey from The Force Awakens. If Han Solo was a woman—that would be Hail Bristol: gunrunner, feared captain, and long-lost princess.

Quick, sarcastic, and lethal, Hailimi Bristol doesn't suffer fools gladly. She has made a name for herself in the galaxy for everything except what she was born to do: rule the Indranan empire. That is, until two Trackers drag her back to her home planet to take her rightful place as the only remaining heir.

But trading her ship for a palace has more dangers than Hail could have anticipated. Caught in a web of plots and assassination attempts, Hail can't do the one thing she did twenty years ago -- run away. She'll have to figure out how her mother became so ill and who murdered her sisters if she wants to survive.

K. B. Wagers has a bachelor's degree in Russian Studies and her nonfiction writing has earned her two Air Force Space Command media contest awards. A native of Colorado, she lives at the base of the Rocky Mountains with her husband and son. In between books, she can be found playing in the mud, running on trails, dancing to music, and scribbling on spare bits of paper.
