Retrograde: The Darkness

Life on Damara stands on the brink of destruction. Isis Pnina Mahmoud, daughter of the President of Cairo, leads a privileged life, but it’s not what she wants. She longs for purpose. Purpose finds her when the mighty Retrograde threatens to annihilate her planet. To fend off a devastating attack, Isis defies her mother’s wishes and enlists in Cairo’s elite military unit. Joined in battle by the mysterious and enigmatic Khalfani Abaza, Isis finds herself drawn to him in inexplicable ways. As the Retrograde barrels down on them, the force uniting them grows stronger. Once they connect with Aurora, a fearless army brigade leader, the mystery behind their magnetic connection slowly unfolds, but only at Aurora’s will and on her terms. The trio must rely on each other to survive a near-impossible mission. If they fail, Damara’s very existence will be no more.

From the Back Cover

"In Retrograde: The Darkness, Godmasch brings us a vividly rendered vision of a far-off planet facing an ancient, supernatural enemy. This book isn't just flights of fancy; however, the characters are all as real as anyone you might meet in your day-to-day life, bringing human strength and vulnerability in equal measure to a world that could only exist in the imagination." -- Jo Niederhoff, San Francisco Book Review
