"A riveting origins story...pulls readers into a wondrous universe brimming with fascinating characters." -Kirkus Reviews
"A vivid and emotional depiction of human nature, flawlessly blended into an intricate science fiction epic." -Striking13 Jane is only safe when she's alone, so she never leaves her Atlanta apartment. But that means when things start happening that she can't explain - like an old jewelry box flashing lights she didn't know it had and a stab wound healing in seconds - she has no one to turn to for help. When she passes out in her living room and wakes up on a spacecraft, she thinks she's lost her mind. Until she meets Mikh l, an enigmatic rebel from the enslaved planet Spyridon. This is his ship, and he says there's nothing wrong with her. She's just not human, and it's time to go home. But Mikh l's ship is riddled with spies, and everyone has their own agenda. What started as a rescue is beginning to feel like a trap, and every day Jane spends on the ship embroils her deeper in the politics and intrigue of a planet at war. Jane just wants to live her life in peace, but that might not be possible. Because she's more important than she knows, and at least one person on this ship will stop at nothing to prevent her from reaching Spyridon alive. Mystery, romance, and suspense mingle in the debut novel from Lillian James. Spyridon is the first installment in a riveting space opera saga about how one woman's journey home sparks a revolution millennia in the making.
