About the Wolfhounds Universe:
The Wolfhounds series is about a young man, a bastard child of a prince of the empire, who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war to reclaim the empire after the entire imperial family is assassinated by the head of the empire's parliament.
The Wolfhounds are the 'emperor's own' almost like the praetorian guard in some aspects, however they do go to war and the emperor or one of his princes are always there to lead them. Laid low by traitors in the imperial navy during the 'revolution' the Wolfhounds are now back to seek vengeance.
The story takes place several thousand years in the future. AI's are common, but certain people have an inbred ability to control them, so they don't run amok. While advanced, society is based more on nobility and imperial lines, with your rank being determined by just how well you can interact with and control the AIs and other systems out there.
Valley Of Fire
Valley of Fire is a trilogy set inside the Wolfhounds Universe, it starts approximately two years after Book #6 in the Wolfhounds Original Series. Which is after the DPRS government has falled and the Emperor of Solaria returns, reinstituting the Solarian Empire. Valley of Fire is intended to be a three book series (no, we don't use the 'T' word here - thankyouverymuch) and it will be Published by Raconteur Press. Raconteur Press is, at the time of my posting this, experimenting with a different release cycle for their books. Their books are first released in three segments (serial 1, 2, 3, et. al.) then the entire book is released (and the serials taken down) in both ebook and paperback formats. They also have a substack you can find here: Raconteur Press Substack.
The Valley of Fire Story follows the exploits of one Eric 'Wolf' Wolfram, as well as a few of his sister Candice Viking. Eric and his sister are refugees whose parents were murdered while fleeing the DPRS twelve years ago. While their parents were nobles, Eric was only 4 at the time, and his sister, who was 6, can't recall what the family name is. That said, they have spent the last decade hiding who they are and what they can do. Thankfully they were both taken in by Dartanion (Dar for short) who, while a bit of a scoundrel himself, has done well by them and raised them almost as if they were his own. When the story starts, Eric has just turned 18 and is starting to think about living his life on his own.
