About the Book

Love will save them. But their love will destroy the kingdom.

Armas dreams of life beyond the family farm but doesn't aspire to be the king. Kyla longs to fight for her kingdom but is sidelined by her father and must forge her own path. Jon is in line for the throne but has fallen for the one person he can't have.

Fortunate Son is a retelling of the David story, part of the Stardust And Ashes series of biblical retellings set in the Euphrates Spiral Galaxy.



About the Author :
Melinda Mitchell grew up in Alaska and has lived all over the United States, currently residing in Wisconsin with her husband and son. Raised by parents who were fans of science fiction and fantasy, the Stardust and Ashes series was born out of a late night/early morning D&D session during her time in seminary. Melinda has co-authored two academic papers on the intersections of science fiction and theology, and has also written numerous articles on theological themes found in popular science fiction and fantasy. She likes to think the greatest truths are in the stories we tell, whether or not the stories are true themselves.www.melindamitchell.com

Review :

"Fortunate Son made me want to read the Bible again!"

-LaShawn Wanak, short fiction author & editor of GigaNotoSaurus Magazine

"A familiar (Biblical, even) story given fresh life and meaning with a SFnal twist."

-Laura Anne Gilman, author of the Huntsmen series

"How do you improve the most Shakespearian part of the Bible? Add mech suits and starfighters, of course! Melinda Mitchell's space-fantasy dives into the blood, destiny and passion of David, Saul and Jonathan, paired with the metal-clanging action of Voltron or Macross. The action is brutal enough to satisfy any military sci-fi fan, but the characters are the truly engaging part of this book, loving and betraying, breaking their oaths and holding their hearts, drawn down the vortex of a mad king's fall. If you loved Iron Widow and Pacific Rim, don't miss Fortunate Son."

- Spencer Ellsworth, author of A Red Peace
