3 Days, 2 boys, 1 crown. Two teens born two days apart, they should never have met, and yet when they did, their world would change forever. An action-packed sci-fi thriller Born of Empire delivers an adrenaline-fueled adventure.

In a future where Earth has transformed into the formidable Dodecahedral Empire, Teodor Windsor is the heir to two thrones—the future king of Earth and the next emperor of the 12 planets of the Dodecahedral. Yet, when he vanishes without a trace, the future of the Empire is thrown into disarray, for if Teodor dies who will grab the ultimate power?

Teodor was snatched by cyborgs wearing the black and gold uniform of Earth’s Space Defense Forces. So, the question is, could he have fallen prey to the ruthless yet brilliant politician, Chart Segat, who not only heads up the Earth’s Space Defense Force, but is also linked to the murder of the previous King? If Chart Segat did kill his father, what chance then that Prince Teodor will survive?

Except… In the attics of the capital’s gilded fashion district lives another boy. He has refused the chance to be a teen model, for Guy Erma only has one dream; he wants to join Earth’s Space Defense Force. And why not? He is good at Maths and champion blades fighter, but… Guy is also an unregistered orphan. So now he must now curry favour with the leader of the Earth’s Space Defense Force, the very same Chart Segat. Helped by his fashion house, Guy finds himself running errands, serving drinks at parties, Guy must do ‘whatever Chartsie says’…. Until Guy sees and hears something he shouldn’t have.

Now Guy knows something, but who can he tell? And if says nothing, whose murder might follow?

Welcome to “Born Of Empire,” where unlikely alliances are forged, and salvation rests in the hands of the most unexpected heroes. Prepare yourself for an action-packed adventure, where two boys from opposite ends of the social spectrum must navigate a treacherous web of intergalactic politics, where no one is guaranteed the luxury of survival as the fate of their world hangs by a thread.

★★★★★ “Unable to put the book down.” Amazon Review, June 2023

★★★★★ “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.”

Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers’ Favorite – 5 Stars

Author Sally Ann Melia has crafted 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. I loved the narrative technique that the author employs to get each young man’s perspective across in an authentic and original voice, and I felt that both perspectives give you a more balanced view of the complexities of the wider world that Melia has created. 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. Overall, I found 13 Born of Empire to be a fantastic start to what promises to be a stellar science fiction series.
