ONE OF ESQUIRE'S BEST SCI-FI BOOKS OF 2024 

Bethany Jacobs returns with On Vicious Worlds, the electrifying sequel to These Burning Stars, the Philip K. Dick Award–winning space opera novel about revenge, power, and the price of legacy.

The Jeveni have found a fragile sense of peace on the ice planet of Capamame, far from the Kindom’s domineering control. There, Jun Ironway and Masar Hawks are tasked with the impossible: protecting their colony from a faceless saboteur who is hell-bent on spreading mayhem and murder through the colony.

Meanwhile, stoic Cleric Chono and Six, the wild manipulator responsible for outwitting the Nightfoot family, struggle to stay one step ahead of their enemies. A collision is on the horizon. One that could ignite the spark of revolution.

And over it all hangs the cruel legacy of Esek Nightfoot. A legacy that may prove impossible to escape. . . .
