Two thousand years ago, Vaelric Obsidian orchestrated the dismantling of the ruling Matriarchs of Virellia; a lush, sacred world governed by women and hidden in the far reaches of the stars. Through seduction and subversion, his team of covert operatives overthrew the matriarchal order and brought Virellia into the Solvaran Galactic Empire.

But his ambition and lust pushed him beyond conquest. In a secret mountain temple, no man had ever entered, he drank the golden nectar that seeped from ancient roots deep inside the sanctuary. Since that moment, he has not aged. He does fall ill. Wounds that would kill any other man heal in days.

The collapse of the Virellian Matriarchs plunged the planet into ruin. Within two centuries, Virellia turned poisonous and lifeless; sealed off, wiped from the records, and forgotten by all but him.

Now, Virellia is stirring again. Vaelric is the only one who knows of its rebirth, and the only one who remembers how to reach it. Driven by visions of a new human race, he seeks to resurrect the lost world he once condemned.

Drawn into his orbit are brilliant, dangerous women whose desires and loyalties blur the line between devotion and rebellion. Together, they will decide whether The House of Obsidian becomes a sanctuary for a new humanity—or the seed of its
next ruin.

The House of Obsidian is a darkly sensual sci-fi romantasy about power, immortality, and the cost of creation.
