Crown of the Free Worlds (Starbound Edict #3)

When a rebellion becomes religion, love must choose whether to bow, burn—or become something new.

In the shadow of a black-hole citadel, where timelines fracture and myths calcify into law, a psychic human and a war-forged alien must defy fate one final time.

Gredie Vyraxi never wanted to be a prophet. She wanted to love and be free. But as the child of rebellion and the bearer of Blue Flame, the galaxy has rewritten her as both symbol and threat. Now, her bond with Commander Dorgon Varyn—a warrior turned revolutionary—has birthed not just forbidden desire, but a possible future that terrifies empires and AI gods alike.

From orbital sanctuaries to the living heart of prophecy, from sacred weddings to starfield duels, their love sets fire to the old equations. But when their ship’s AI begins to evolve beyond control—and their hybrid child returns from a timeline that should not exist—every system built on obedience and purity begins to unravel.

The Free Worlds stand at a codify justice or collapse into war. As the Treaty of Aethra hangs by a thread, and cults rise in their name, Gredie and Dorgon must make one last choice—between legacy and freedom, between survival and surrender, between rewriting the galaxy... or letting it end.
