Empire Uprising (Taran Empire Saga Book 2)

Ancient secrets may be the way forward…

Tarans have reached a tentative peace with the Erebus. While politicians on Tararia address the political ramifications of the new alliance, Jason and the rest of the TSS refocus their efforts on defense.

The Erebus are after something. It’s unclear what, but Jason is convinced they can’t be trusted. The Aesir’s data archive may hold the key to an effective defense, except keeping anything from the Erebus and their seemingly omnipotent abilities will put the fragile Taran Empire in even greater danger.

Fearing for the Empire’s security, the TSS implements a covert plan to upgrade the fortifications across the Taran worlds using ancient technology that has long been buried. Only, those secrets were locked away for a reason, and reopening the archives will initiate a conflict no one is prepared to fight.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Thank you for reading Empire Reborn! Wow, it’s great to be back with these characters in the Cadicle Universe. Though this may be your introduction to this story world, it’s been a part of my life for more than two decades.

I began building out this universe as a kid—around the time I was ten or eleven years old. The original series was all about Wil’s story as the titled ‘Cadicle’ figure, but I always intended for this universe to be much bigger than that. Every tale in the Cadicle Universe has interpersonal relationships at its core, so characters grow and change and start families of their own. It’s only natural that the story now continue with the next generation taking the lead and coming into their own.

In the event you have not read anything else in the Cadicle Universe, you may be wondering about how this book connects to others. So, in short:

To read about the Bakzen War and fall of the Priesthood, check out the original Cadicle series.

To read about the Gatekeepers incident, read the Verity Chronicles co-authored with T.S. Valmond.

To find out how Kira got her special nanotech, read the Mindspace series.

To learn about what happened to the Andvari from their point of view, read In Darkness Dwells co-authored with James Fox (coming in Q2 2021).

To learn about what else the Coalition is up to behind the scenes, read the Shadowed Space series with Lucinda Pebre (this book will connect more with later volumes in the Taran Empire Saga).

Needless to say, Empire Reborn had a lot of work to do as a single book—pulling together so many side storylines while (hopefully) also being readable as a universe entry point and as a sequel series. No matter what you have read or haven’t in the broader universe, I hope you enjoyed this novel!
