No Man's Land Volume 3 (Chronicles of Lost Elly, #3)

No Man's Land

Sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic. On a lost colony world, mad geneticists thought they could eliminate inequality by making everyone hermaphrodite. They were wrong. Catastrophically wrong. Now technology indistinguishable from magic courses through the veins of the inhabitants, making their barbaric civilization survivable-and Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Kayel Hayden, Viscount Webson, Envoy of the Star Empire-Skip to his friends- has just crash-landed through a time-space rift into the middle of it all. Dodging assassins and plummeting from high windows was just the beginning. With a desperate king and an archmagician as his only allies, Scipio must outrun death itself while battling beasts, traitors, and infiltrators bent on finishing what the founders started: total destruction. Two worlds. One chance. No time to lose. Volume 3 Skip's idea of crisis management? Stress baking. While he's kneading away his anxiety, Eerlen Troz is fighting for his life-and his unborn child's-in an ancient and familiar battle. When saving Eerlen's life requires forging an unexpected blood brotherhood, it creates something neither person anticipated: a memory bond between two worlds. Through shared consciousness, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just Elly, but the entire Star Empire. The plot runs deeper than anyone imagined. Lives, fortunes, and freedom itself hang in the balance. But exposing the truth means surviving long enough to tell it-and their enemies have other plans. Two minds. One mission. A universe-spanning conspiracy that someone will kill to protect. When the fate of worlds rests on an unlikely brotherhood forged in blood and baked goods.
