The past isn't the only thing that won't stay dead.
Hiding from his violent history as a powerful Void necromancer within the Sparnell Confederation's galactic empire, single father Shane Lawrence has finally built a quiet life. On the freehold planet of Baden he can pour his energy into the only thing that now matters: the safety and upbringing of his precocious son, Jake.
All too soon, the Confederation targets Baden for annexation, confronting Shane once more with his treasonous military past. Worse, the invading force is led by none other than Shane's manipulative former mentor, Admiral Kydell.
Shane's every instinct screams to run, to hide his son even further from Sparnell – but Baden is home. This time he could choose to make a stand and defend the entire planet, not just his son. But that means turning to the very military skills he swore he'd leave behind...
In Spite of the Inevitable is the first book in the Mordena Dawn space opera power fantasy series, following single father Shane Lawrence and his found family's high stakes adventures in the Vazdimet universe. Meet the founders of the costly Mordena mercenaries, and join their rise from military deserters to ferocious and effective defenders of the independent Freehold planets. When powerful galactic empires seek to devour innocents whole, there's no hired force better prepared to stand against them.
