A secret war. An insidious conspiracy. One young man holds the fate of a galactic empire.
Wil Sietinen is driven by duty. Torn between his responsibilities as heir to a preeminent family dynasty while training to be an officer in the galactic military, he would rather design starships than plot political schemes or battle strategies. But when Wil is captured by a mysterious alien enemy, he learns that a brutal war has been secretly waging for centuries… and his unique telekinetic powers are the last hope to end the conflict.
As he confronts the daunting challenge of leading the battered military to victory, Wil realizes that the enemy isn't who he's been led to believe. Caught between ruthless adversaries and unsure who to trust, can Wil secure the Taran Empire's future?
The Cadicle series is a thrilling space opera epic in the grand tradition, perfect for fans of interstellar sci-fi adventures, intricate world-building, and galactic-scale political intrigue. This collection includes the first three volumes of the Cadicle series.
Architects of Destiny
Cris Sietinen was born with rare telekinetic gifts--abilities outlawed by the governing Priesthood. A new future awaits when Cris receives an invitation to join the TSS and begin their sanctioned telekinesis training program. Except, following that path puts him at the center of a generations-old galactic conspiracy.
Veil of Reality
The greatest deceptions are never suspected. After twenty years with the TSS, Cris Sietinen is in the unprecedented position of being both Lead Agent and heir to a High Dynasty. When his son, Wil, is captured by the mysterious alien Bakzen, Cris uncovers a hidden truth that forces him to question all that he once took for granted.
Bonds of Resolve
A year after his encounter with the Bakzen, Wil is still grappling with his upcoming role in the war. However, Wil finds unexpected support when he befriends a new TSS trainee from Earth, Saera. Through their budding relationship, Wil comes to terms with the purpose he was born to fulfill and gains comfort in the knowledge that he won't have to face the future alone.
