Shabin: The Reluctant Prince of Rhime

By Andrew Heister

Book Overview

Power built the Shabin dynasty. Walking away from it may cost Jason everything.

When his father's mental decline turns violent, and the uncle who shaped his childhood is killed, eighteen-year-old Jason Shabin does the one thing his family has never allowed. He leaves. Born with a mental ability derived from alien DNA, Jason was never meant to be free. His flight sets events in motion that cannot be undone.

Outside the controlled safety of his home world, Jason becomes a problem no one can ignore. His father sees a missing heir as a liability. Others see the value in his blood. As Jason moves from lawless ports to contested worlds, pursuit tightens, and survival becomes a daily negotiation.

Forced to navigate a galaxy where biology is leverage and identity is a weapon, Jason must decide whether he will submit to the role he was designed for or claim a future of his own, no matter the cost.

Shabin: The Reluctant Prince of Rhime is a standalone space opera with coming-of-age stakes, blending dynastic power, political tension, and character-driven conflict. Fans of The Vorkosigan Saga, Dune, and Red Rising will feel at home.
