Dissension: Heirs of Denuitia by M.J. Rosay

Fusing deadly family dynamics with far-future tech, psychic powers, and alien battlefields, author M.J. Rosay has crafted an epic sci-fi novel with Dissension: Heirs of Denuitia, the first volume of her ambitious and enthralling space opera. With imploding planets, galactic court drama, and family feuding, there is rarely a scene or a page that isn’t adrenaline-pumping or plot-progressing in some way. As a lead character, Nyren is immediately appealing and sympathetic, while the constant stream of high-stakes action will keep readers turning pages, without the author ever compromising on storytelling depth. The story-crafting, character development, and world-building must be commended, and as the foundational book for a new series, this first installment is quite a thrilling journey.
