Prepare yourself for an adrenaline-charged adventure, where the destiny of entire worlds dangles by a thread, and even the stars themselves bear witness to an unforgettable battle for survival.

"Melia’s imagination has produced a gloriously mythical yet credible world combined with a spellbinding and beguiling story, making Born of Empire a vivid and strikingly original first novel in this YA science fiction fantasy series.

The detailing is superb, and there’s an austere atmosphere to the Dodecahedral that really makes you want to read more and break through its apparently gleaming surface. "
Reader's Favourite.

"Discover a truly exciting tale with an interesting contrast between the two central characters. In this rough world of subterfuge, kidnap, political unrest, and strict hierarchies of power, Guy and Teodor both represent outsiders who are not treated the same as other boys. The narrative technique that the author employs to get each young man’s perspective across in an authentic and original voice, and both perspectives give a balanced view of the complexities of the wider world that author Sally Ann Melia has created. Born of Empire is a fantastic start to what promises to be a stellar science fiction series."
