Kin Wars Saga

The Dominion has been torn apart by betrayal-the likes which had never been seen before-and civil war reigns. Brother wars against brother as factions vie for control, and the losses are staggering. For the Espinoza clan, the war within the Dominion of Man has taken a far more personal turn. A horrible truth has been revealed at last, and the surviving members of the family battle the rising tide of betrayal and hopelessness. Blood has been spilled, and the only response is to take blood in return. For every member of the family, the shadow of war against their kin is out in the open. From the shattered cities on Belleza Sutil to the still-smoldering throne world of the Dominion itself, the cardinal Espinoza rule is still the same: Above all else, family remains. But can even family survive when all hope seems lost?

How far would a man go to protect those he loved? For Gabriel Espinoza, the answer was simple: to the ends of the universe. When a failed genetic test ruins his life, Gabriel and his fiancée prepare to run to a world where the laws aren't as strict. There they could remain, in peace, for the remainder of their days, their love unspoiled by the strict regime which controls the Dominion of Man. But Fate is a cruel, fickle mistress. Torn from the only woman he had ever loved, Gabriel is prepared to burn the galaxy to get her back. How far would a man go to protect the empire he was sworn to uphold? For Andrew Espinoza, the answer was a bit more complicated. Torn between family loyalty and his duty to his country, Andrew must infiltrate a rich and powerful clan to determine if they are plotting against the Dominion of Man, but while undercover he discovers something far darker and more dangerous is lurking in the shadows, and he is the only man who can stop it. But Fate is a cruel, fickle mistress. How far will Andrew go to ensure the success of his mission? One brother must save himself; the other must save the universe. But can either survive long enough to achieve their goal?

"For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it had been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" – Luke 22:22 Gabriel Espinoza's loyalty had never been called into question, yet a dagger had been slid into his family's back by outsiders. Gabriel has had his revenge, but it came at such a cost that it might be more than the Dominion can pay. He believes he has nothing left to fight for, save a child he cannot claim as his own. Christine Dai is a wanted woman. While she doesn't understand why she is being hunted by the agency she had once called her second family, she knows she has two children to protect-the child growing within her and the terrifying niece of the man she loved. Andrew Espinoza knows where his loyalties lie. However, two distinct aspects battle for his mind and soul. Above All Else, Family Remains was the single tenet of the Espinoza family. Yet if he wants to truly save the Dominion of Man, he will have to be something more than a spy-and someone else entirely. Betrayal is the only truth which remains for them. A bitter truth, yet it is better than a lie.

Soldier. Spy. Statesman. Gabriel Espinoza is dead, yet living in a world where he never sees those he loves and cares about. Every day of his existence is one of fear; however, this fear keeps his edge sharpened and his senses honed while he continues to fight for his Emperor. Fear can be a useful tool in the proper hands… Andrew Espinoza is both dead and alive, caught in a juxtaposition of identities that not even he can truly understand. He embraced his fear long before, and it has made him a loyal servant to the Dominion of Man. It also is his driving force, as he knows it is a double-edged sword that can either hurt him, or save him… Kevin Espinoza is alive and well, doing what he can to bring about true equal rights throughout the Dominion as his world's Representative in Parliament. He knows history, and can attest to the notion that fear can drive mankind to shape great nations, or destroy them all… Fear is a wondrous tool, for it can drive a man to many acts of bravery-and defiance.
