Book Launch! When the Sky Breaks

Darling Axe senior editor David Brown (AKA Septimus Brown) just published his debut novel 🤩

When the Sky Breaks

An alien artifact. A prison break. A rebel with a secret.

When a young woman from Marix Desata’s past shows up at Crescent Five—a remote lunar lockup—she pulls him into a conspiracy that could topple a tyrant or destroy them both. A forbidden weapon, powerful and alive, ends up in Marix’s hands.

It whispers at the edge of his thoughts, demanding loyalty, offering power… if he dares to wield it.

But the closer Marix gets to freedom, the more dangerous the journey becomes. To survive, he’ll need to outrun assassins, outsmart spies, and navigate a world that wants to use him or kill him—starting with his own mother.
