Of Civilized, Saved and Savages: Coronam Book II cover

In a world of turmoil, Hyrax seeks to reclaim its strength while Morgan battles for survival and alliances in Of Civilized, Saved and Savages: Coronam Book II.

In Of Civilized, Saved and Savages: Coronam Book II, the aftermath of a devastating defeat leaves Hyrax in a precarious position. As it scrambles to find new revenue sources for rebuilding, the empire faces revolts on Maaraw and uprisings on Silangan. The occupied worlds are straining under financial burdens, and with options dwindling, the only unclaimed territory left is Tirgwenin, a wild and untamed planet linked to Jareth.

Meanwhile, Alpin Morgan finds himself in dire straits. His colony has been destroyed, forcing him to return to Enskari, where he must plead for help. However, the landscape has changed dramatically; the war and a brutal religious purge have severed his connections and exacerbated class tensions. The political arena is fraught with danger, especially with Sir Ethan Sommerled, the queen’s lover and Morgan’s former ally, at the center of the turmoil. To navigate this treacherous environment, Morgan must seek new allies to reclaim his path to the savage lands of Tirgwenin.

As the conflict escalates, a third planet, Temple, becomes obsessed with Jareth’s World. Here, a prophet recognizes the looming threat and rallies the Saved to embark on a holy crusade to protect civilization. The intertwining fates of these characters create a rich tapestry of adventure, intrigue, and the struggle for power in Of Civilized, Saved and Savages: Coronam Book II.
