LIFE CAN EXIST ANYWHERE. AND ANYWHERE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOME.
Georges-Étienne and his children have formed The House of Styx, after finding a mysterious artefact on the surface of Venus herself. But with the discovery comes great risk, not only from a planet that kills with its very touch but also from the banks and powers of old Earth, who will not readily relinquish their hold on Venus's people and resources.
From humble origins, The House of Styx is destined to become one of the most powerful families in the galaxy... if they survive.
