I *finally* got started on Book 4 of Eternity’s Empire! (Can I get a HELL YEAH!) Here’s a peek at the first draft of the opening:

While Aeternitas and her guardians huddled in the Earth queen’s palace, waiting for doom or salvation, her mother’s distant realm seemed like a dream.

But now that she had returned to the stars, it was Earth and not the empire that felt like a dream.

She still loved the Earth as much as she loved its queen; that was indisputable. She saw nothing but potential in its rolling green fields, jagged mountain ranges and rolling plains. But now that she was back among the ease and technology that permeated every aspect of life in the empire and its surrounds, the time she spent there seemed more like a fantastic camping trip, a venture through the wild, untamed reaches of the galaxy.

In other words, it had been a vacation. And it was time for that vacation to end.
