Adult SciFi Romance Set in Space Opera
One lonely night, two frightened psion children reach out to each other with their minds, forging a bond that will last a lifetime. Years later, Hankura Narcaza realizes he must find her—Chelle, the girl who has always been a part of him.
The Aledan Series is a sweeping sci-fi romance set in a richly developed space opera universe—blending adventure, science fiction, and an emotional family saga. It begins with Hankura and Chelle’s love story, which remains a central thread throughout the series, while each subsequent book introduces new characters and romances woven into their evolving world.
This is my premier series, one that started many years ago with my first full-length novel, The Aledan Psion. Since then, the story has grown into six additional books and a prequel. Each novel has been re-edited and republished with new covers in celebration of the latest release, Lanimer.
At its core, the series explores a simple yet profound premise: If you could truly read someone’s mind—especially someone you love—would it bring you closer together, or would it reveal truths best left hidden? Through Hankura and Chelle’s journey, I’ve delved into social issues, relationships, and the complexities of life as a psion. The first three books center on them, while the next three (Psion’s Children, Calan, and Lanimer) follow their children’s lives and struggles.
The Aledan Series is written for adults, featuring explicit romance, yet it remains deeply character-driven, tackling social themes relevant even in our world today. Much like Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, I use a futuristic setting to explore contemporary issues—except where Star Trek avoided long-term romantic commitments, my characters embrace them. But even a psi-mate bond doesn’t guarantee a perfect happily-ever-after. Telepaths can still hide secrets, and relationships—no matter how deep—require work.
The series evolved over time, with The Aledan Psion and Surviving Zevus Mar originally written five years apart. During that time, I had drafted another novel, The Horsemen of Demus, which remained unpublished. Realizing its strong parallels with the Aledan storyline, I merged the worlds—renaming it Oltarin: The Horse Clans Colony. It serves as a lighter interlude between the first book and the emotionally intense Surviving Zevus Mar, which, despite its heartbreak, ultimately ends on a hopeful note.
As the series continued, I expanded the world, adding intrigue in Psion Factor and shifting focus to the next generation.
Interestingly, this series inspired two cyborg romance spin-offs, drawing from the backstory of Chelle and her brother surviving in the ruins of Farringay—a shattered Earth devastated by interstellar war. In fact, Chelle’s ancestors were cyborgs, a connection subtly hinted at in the Cyborg Awakenings Series.
Whether you’re here for the romance, adventure, or deep emotional connections, the Aledan Series is a journey through love, resilience, and the power of the mind.
Psion Mates
One lonely night two scared children reach out to make a connection that will change their lives forever. Hankura Narcaza is the Aledan boy and Michelle Marlow is the little girl on Earth who claims his heart and soul through their psionic connection. This prequel leads up to the beginning of book one of the series and ends in a cliffhanger though it reveals events previously mentioned only briefly in book one of the Aledan Series. Hankura’s lifelong friends Casir and Delmran meet on Velran at the University of Learn school for human psions.
The Aledan Psion
When Hankura was just ten years old, his family sent him away to a distant world to spare him from the brutal mind conditioning forced upon psions on Aledus. During his journey, he unknowingly forged a powerful mental connection with Michelle—a frightened little girl across the stars. Neither of them understood what had happened, nor that their bond would last a lifetime.
Years later, as Michelle reached puberty, the connection between them intensified, invading Hankura’s dreams and unsettling the life he had built. It even came between him and the woman he thought he loved. But when Michelle is nearly killed in a violent street fight, Hankura can no longer ignore the pull—he must go to Earth and find her.
A psion mate bond cannot be broken. To deny it could shatter them both, body and mind.
But love alone is not enough. Though Hankura and Michelle share an unbreakable connection, their relationship is tested by his selfish tendencies, a world that enforces harsh psion laws, and family conflicts that push them to their limits. Can they find balance in a universe that fights to keep them apart? Or will their bond become their greatest challenge yet? Adult Content, Sexual Situations, No Cliff Hanger HFN Ending.
Oltarin, The Horse Clans Colony
Still recovering from their harrowing ordeal on Aledus, Hankura and Chelle join the crew of the Searching Star on a new mission of exploration. Surrounded by old and new friends, they find solace in camaraderie as they embark on their journey.
Their travels take them to the planet Oltarin, home to a lost colony originally destined for a world called Demus. Isolated for 500 years, the colony has fractured into warring factions—the Mountain Clans and the Lake Clans—locked in a generations-old blood feud. Once spacefaring, their society has regressed into a world of horses, swords, and crossbows.
While attempting to send a message from an ancient space shuttle, Brandt McKell, son of the Mountain Clan chieftain, spots a lone rider pursued by four renegades. Racing to help, he is stunned to discover the rider is none other than the daughter of his sworn enemy, the Lake Clan chieftain. It’s not exactly love at first sight, but the clash of wills soon sparks a passion neither can ignore.
As tensions rise and old rivalries threaten to tear the colony apart, the crew of the Searching Star must determine whether these people can overcome their differences and reclaim their place in the Federation.

When his chance finally comes, Hankura fights his way to freedom, killing every Tregan who stands in his way. But even after the battle is won, the wounds remain. Haunted by what they endured, he and Chelle retreat into their own pain, struggling to bridge the chasm between them.

Psion Factor
Hankura and Chelle are devastated when their son, Jamerin, becomes catatonic just as his psionic abilities begin to emerge. Nothing they’ve tried has helped, and their only hope lies on Velran, where the Wholaskans may be able to heal him. But there’s one major obstacle—no starship will risk carrying two dawning psion children across the galaxy.
Their luck changes when they cross paths with Captain Otian, whose ship has been stranded on the backwater planet of Oltarin after a star drive failure. With no funds for repairs, Otian is desperate. Hankura makes him an offer he can’t refuse: transport their family to Velran in exchange for the money needed to fix his ship. Though Otian’s crew is wary of traveling with unstable psions, they reluctantly agree, hoping the risk will pay off.
But the greatest danger doesn’t come from the children—it comes from Hankura’s old enemies. These same adversaries have pursued his research on the psion factor and now threaten Velran itself. Unbeknownst to Hankura, his childhood friend Delmran has also arrived on Velran to fight this growing menace. As their fates intertwine, Delmran finds himself entangled with Lishaad, a double agent whose true loyalties remain uncertain.
As danger and intrigue mount, their journey becomes more than just a battle for survival—it’s a test of faith, love, and destiny. Will they all make it through unscathed?
Psion’s Children
Jamerin Narcaza is the strongest human psion alive—the one they call the Promised One, destined to free the Psions of Aledus. But power without control is dangerous, and only the Wholaskans of Velran are strong enough to keep him in check. Under their guidance, he learns to master his abilities by adhering to the strict Psion Code of Ethics.
Jamerin respects the Wholaskans. He follows their teachings. Until he meets her.
Parei is his psi-mate, the one meant for him. But when they try to take her away, something inside him snaps. Defying everything he has been taught, Jamerin does the unthinkable—he seizes control of his own parents’ minds, bending their will to his, forcing them to let Parei stay.
How can someone so reckless be destined for a mission so honorable? Can the Wholaskans reform him where his parents have failed? Or will he follow the dark path of his grandmother before him—destroying the very minds he was meant to save?
Revised and remastered.
Calan, Psion Factor Son
Calan Narcaza is a smart, charismatic psion—known for his dazzling “parlor tricks.” But his abilities run far deeper than simple illusions. Like his father before him, he has returned to Earth to find his psi-mate, Ajha Lann, in Farringay.
For years, he has felt Ajha reaching out to him across the stars. The sheer strength of their connection leaves no doubt—she is his destined mate.
He knows the dangers that lurk on Earth, the same ones his mother once faced before his father came to claim her. But Calan has a different plan…
Instead of taking Ajha back to his homeworld, he intends to stay. He’s purchased an abandoned industrial complex on the outskirts of the ruins, determined to transform it into a refuge—a new beginning for the community he envisions.
It’s a simple plan. But love, destiny, and danger have a way of complicating everything.
Lanimer, Return to Zevus Mar
Thirty years after the Tregan invasion that claimed his parents’ lives, Lanimer Dakov’s recurring dreams pull him back to Zevus Mar. As a telepathic psion, his parents had entrusted their friend, Hankura Narcaza, to be his Guardian in the event of their deaths. Raised on Oltarin alongside his Zevian governess and the Tregan rescuers who saved them, Lanimer has built a life far from the world that haunts his dreams.
But when Val’kara Clinic on Zevus Mar offers him a position as a doctor, everything changes.
Shortly after accepting the job, he receives a private holographic message from Evalee, a young Trakellisan-human hybrid. The moment she saw his acceptance message, she knew she wanted him. And knowing he is telepathic, she realizes he will sense her attraction the moment they meet. Instead of hiding it, Evalee chooses honesty—sending him a message that lays her feelings bare.
Lanimer is immediately drawn to her and reassures her that they will figure things out when he arrives. During the six-month journey through space, their messages turn into something deeper, and by the time they finally meet in person, they are already in love.
But Zevus Mar is on the brink of political upheaval, and their happiness is threatened by forces beyond their control. As unrest grows, so does the danger. Can they find a way to protect their future together—or will their love become yet another casualty of war?
