Lost Calling: Arc I - Two Moons

Two brothers. One empire. A war that was never meant to end.In the year 5605, the planet Andorra Prime bleeds beneath a fragile peace. The Aegean Empire rules from the ruins of the Twenty Years War, its gold-plated soldiers marching through cities that have forgotten how to grieve. The Fantasian Republic, its uneasy ally, hides a deeper rot beneath its prosperity. And behind both governments, an older program operates in the shadows — one that has been taking children for generations, breaking them down, and rebuilding them into weapons the empire calls saviors.Sebastian Ironshadow wakes in chains with no memory of who he was before. His body is mapped with scars from procedures he cannot recall. His mind has been wiped so many times he no longer trusts what remains of it. But fragments are returning — a girl named Elise, a brother he cannot name, and a single phrase that will not let him rest: the road less traveled by.Far from the wreckage of Aegis, Cormac Ashenborne is being prepared for a ceremony he does not understand. His mother knows things she cannot say. His mentor has lied to him for years. Every time Cormac begins to remember, something — or someone — takes the memory away again. He has been promised greatness. He has not been told the cost.They do not know they are brothers. They do not know that the empire is closing in around both of them. They do not know that the prophecy written to justify everything they have suffered has only ever had one possible ending — and only one of them is meant to walk away from it.Lost Calling: Arc I — Two Moons is the explosive opening of a dark adult science fiction series about identity, war, and what it means to be made into something you did not choose to become.
