Series: Selene Reborn

**In the age of steam, humanity reached for the Moon.
What it found there had been waiting for centuries.**

In an alternate 1890s, a revolutionary steampunk aethership shatters the boundary between Earth and space—and reveals a terrible truth: the Moon is not empty. It is enslaved.

Beneath the lunar surface lies a hidden world ruled by a tyrant sustained by ancient bargains, forbidden powers, and things older than civilization itself. For three centuries, the people of Selene have lived in chains while something vast and terrible stirs in the darkness beyond them.

First contact with Earth brings hope… but also ambition, war, and the risk of awakening forces capable of consuming worlds.

*Selene Reborn* is a sweeping steampunk science-fiction epic of discovery, diplomacy, invention, rebellion, and eldritch horror—where airships rise beyond the sky, Tesla-driven wonders clash with ancient evils, and freedom itself may demand a terrible price.

Because some chains are forged in iron.
Others are forged in the soul.

**For readers who love steampunk adventure, alternate history, cosmic horror, Tesla-inspired technology, and epic struggles against tyranny and darkness.**

  • Juan in the Crystal Keep

    Juan in the Crystal Keep

    Expanded Chapter from Artemis Rising: The Great Coatzacoalcos Raid and Texas Rangers History

    Before he helped liberate the Moon, Juan Castillo was a young Texas Ranger riding into war.

    While sharing a meal with the Keepers of the Crystal Keep, Juan recounts the story of his first campaign—a daring cavalry raid deep into enemy territory during the Euro-American War. From stealthy bridge seizures in the darkness before dawn to the capture and destruction of the French supply hub at Coatzacoalcos, Juan tells the tale of the operation that helped bring an empire to its knees and paved the way for the rise of the American Commonwealth. Along the way, he reveals the origins of the legendary Texas Rangers: frontier lawmen, scouts, soldiers, and guardians who learned to ride like vaqueros, track like Comanches, and fight with relentless determination.

    Part military adventure, part alternate-history lesson, and part character vignette, this expanded chapter offers readers a deeper look into Juan Castillo’s past, the rich history of the Greshamverse, and the frontier traditions that shaped one of Artemis Rising’s most beloved heroes.

    Included in this special expanded chapter:

    • The complete story of the Great Coatzacoalcos Raid
    • The alternate-history origins of the Texas Rangers
    • Additional worldbuilding for the American Commonwealth
    • New insights into Juan Castillo’s character and experiences before the events of Artemis Rising

    Selene Unchained

    Hope Arrives in Black and Gold

    Book Four of the Selene Reborn Series — Steampunk. Alternate History. Lunar Revolution.

    The Moon has been enslaved for three centuries.
    Now the chains are breaking—and the cost of freedom is about to be counted.


    The war to free Selene has begun.

    Across the shattered clusters beneath the Moon’s surface, the Selenite Republic and its newly formed Defender Marines launch a full-scale military campaign against the regime of Chief Manager Zafir Al-Jalil. Armed with steampunk-era technology pushed beyond its limits, they seize transit stations, overrun fortified tunnels, and turn the machinery of oppression into weapons of liberation.

    But this is not a clean war.

    Zafir’s rule is sustained by ancient power, unholy bargains, and a mastery of fear that has survived centuries of revolt. His forces are vast—and many who face the Marines on the battlefield are not loyal soldiers, but drafted civilians forced to fight or die. Every engagement forces commanders to confront a brutal truth: victory achieved without restraint may poison the future they are trying to build.

    As engineers race to forge new weapons and commanders adapt tactics under fire, the conflict spreads beyond guns and factories. In sealed cloisters and troubled dreams, rival powers maneuver for advantage, offering promises that sound like freedom but conceal chains of their own. The closer Zafir comes to defeat, the clearer it becomes that some enemies do not fall when the shooting stops.

    Because the tyrant has cheated death before.
    And even stolen time must eventually be repaid.

    Selene Unchained is the explosive fourth volume in the Selene Reborn series—a steampunk military science fiction epic of rebellion, leadership under fire, and the moral cost of revolution. Blending industrial-age warfare, lunar combat, political upheaval, and spiritual conflict, it marks the moment when preparation ends and reckoning begins.

    Freedom is no longer a dream.
    It is a battlefield.

  • Forging the Chain Breakers

    Forging the Chain Breakers

    Arming the Revolution of the Selenite Republic of the Moon Against the Evil Tyrant Zafir Al-Jalil

    Book Three of the Selene Reborn Series — Steampunk. Alternate History. Lunar Revolution.

    Freedom has been promised.
    Now it must be armed.

    The Moon remains enslaved—its people bound by ancient magic and ruled by a tyrant who has watched empires rise and fall. Though diplomacy has won allies on Earth, speeches and treaties cannot break chains forged over centuries.

    To liberate Selene, its champions must attempt the impossible: turn a steam-age Earth into the industrial backbone of a lunar rebellion. Factories must rise from nothing. Technologies must leap decades ahead of their time. Fortunes must be raised, risked, and spent in a world where every innovation draws predators—political, commercial, and supernatural alike.
    As inventors race to transform vision into steel and power, alliances strain under pressure. Earth’s great nations see opportunity as much as justice. Industrialists weigh profit against principle. And far above, a watchful enemy may already sense the first sparks of rebellion being struck.

    Because if the Moon is ever to be free, its people must do more than ask for help.

    They must forge the weapons of revolution—before their enemy realizes the war has already begun.

    Forging the Chain Breakers is the pivotal third volume of the Selene Reborn series, blending steampunk invention, alternate history, political intrigue, and the gathering storm of war. It is the bridge between diplomacy and open conflict—the moment when ideals are tested, power is built, and the true cost of freedom comes into view.

    Perfect for readers who enjoy:
    • Steampunk science fiction and retro-futurism
    • Alternate history with political intrigue
    • Epic revolutions and slow-burn war stories
    • Inventors, industrial power, and moral conflict
    • Series with rising stakes and long-term payoffs

    Celestial Accord

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

    Book Two of the Selene Reborn Series — Steampunk. Alternate History. Lunar Revolution

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

    Fresh from humanity’s first steampunk voyage to the Moon, the Free Peoples of Selene arrive in Galveston, Texas—not as curiosities, but as diplomats 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 and world leaders gather for a glittering international celebration, the gears of global politics turn beneath the music, champagne, and polished smiles. The Selenite delegation must navigate a maze of power blocs, imperial ambitions, and diplomatic intrigue as perilous as any forgotten lunar ruin. Every alliance has a price. Every promise carries hidden leverage. A single misstep could doom an entire world.

    Inventors and industrialists glimpse staggering possibilities in lunar technology—Tesla-driven wonders, new energy, new industries—while others see only profit, exploitation, and control. And far away on the Moon, a watchful enemy still holds the chains, waiting for Earth to reveal its true intentions.

    Celestial Accord blends steampunk adventure, Victorian alternate history, and political science fiction into a high-stakes tale of first-contact diplomacy where battles are fought in ballrooms as often as on battlefields. It is a story of courage without certainty, leadership without experience, and the hard 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
