Planet under siege. Family ripped apart. Can Milo be the champion his people have prayed for?
Milo thought being chosen by a prophet would make him a hero. Instead, it's curdled his older brothers' jealousy into hatred. If he can hang on for one more season, he'll leave the pasture behind to study music on Ahino Station.
But when invaders from the ice moon Ikath ravage his homeworld and his family, Milo is summoned to appear before the capricious King Gera. At Hilltop Palace, Milo finds unlikely friends, forbidden love, and dangers lurking in every shadow.
The dark forces that besiege Hilltop boast a deadly champion, and the king promises glory to anyone with enough courage and faith to face the Ikathi fleet's fiercest warrior and survive.
"Not by Sword" is a sci-fi reimagining of the David & Goliath story, perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, and Red Rising.
