A FIERCE ALLEGIANCE
Book One of The Moirai Cycle
loyalty, rebellion,
and the bonds we choose.
He was built to lead. They taught him to obey.
Now he’s running—wounded, hunted, and not alone.
In a fractured world ruled by genetic purity and political control, Mitsu R’Ikeda—noble-born and unknowingly altered—flees the First Tier with buried tech in his body and a name he chose for himself.
Aboard the Moirai, a quiet ship captained by outlaws and outcasts, he finds more than sanctuary.
He finds a crew.
But the past is catching up.
And the future may not wait.
This is a story for those who live at the threshold—
for the ones caught between roles, between loyalties,
between worlds.
I wrote this for the misfits,
the tired,
the weathered hearts who keep showing up.
You’re not alone.
— M.S. Edwards
