## About this book

Hearthspace is a gripping work of science fiction and space opera. Thousands of years after a massive colony ship reached the Hearth, humanity has spread across diverse planets using lightsails. While these settlers have thrived on worlds ranging from earth-like paradises to extreme hellscapes, they have lost the memory of their origins. This volume 1 entry explores the fragility of this expansion as a hidden secret regarding the history of the Hearth begins to surface.

Commander Ulla Breen faces a sudden crisis during her first tour of duty aboard a patrol sail-ship. An unknown enemy attacks, threatening the crew and their home planets with slavery and death. As Ulla struggles to survive this upheaval, she seeks to unite the disparate colonies against a familiar foe. This science fiction narrative follows her quest to protect the inner Hearth and uncover why humanity first arrived in Hearthspace.
