The Selenite’s High Stakes Gamble and the 1891 Presidents’ Ball

Selene Reborn – Book Two

The Moon has found its voice. Now it must learn to be heard.

Fresh from humanity’s first voyage to the Moon, the Free Peoples of the Moon arrive in Galveston, Texas—not as curiosities, but as envoys seeking freedom. Their cause is urgent: three centuries of lunar enslavement under a tyrant sustained by dark power, ancient bargains, and fear.

But Earth is not a simple refuge.

As presidents gather for a glittering international celebration and the machinery of global politics grinds beneath the music and champagne, the Selenite delegation must navigate a world as dangerous as any lunar ruin. Power blocs maneuver. Ambitions collide. Allies smile—and calculate. Every dance step, every whispered promise, every misplaced word may decide the fate of an entire world.

While inventors and industrialists glimpse staggering possibilities in lunar technology, others see profit, leverage, or domination. And far away on the Moon, a watchful enemy still holds the chains.

Celestial Accord blends steampunk adventure, alternate history, political intrigue, and first-contact diplomacy into a high-stakes tale where battles are fought in ballrooms as often as on battlefields. It is a story of courage without certainty, leadership without experience, and the terrible truth that freedom is never granted—it is negotiated, defended, and paid for.

The journey to the Moon changed history.
The struggle to free it will change worlds.

“A phenomenal follow-up to the first book in this series. This one was difficult to put down and ended far too soon. Eagerly awaiting book 3!”
