THE NEPTUNE STONE

The 5th novel from GTA author Samuel Michael Stirpe—A gripping steampunk/fantasy adventure for mature audiences.

A thrill ride from start to finish—when a supposedly offline AI system sends a message out from its prison in space, it gets inadvertently intercepted by Alban, a lighthearted and incredibly skilled former slave, and his guild of thieves. The message demands the return of the mythical Neptune Stone, known for being a source of unlimited energy. 

Meanwhile, Prince Zeldewrath, of the Goblin Realm, needs to marry Princess Vermelon to unite their two kingdoms, ending a centuries-long war. But she has a mighty dowry: the Neptune Stone, in hopes that she can harness the stone’s energy to save her planet from succumbing to a similar fate to eco-torn Earth. 

Before this can happen, Zeldewrath must survive a sex scandal, which means killing his own illegitimate daughter. Unknowingly, Alban’s guild comes to the rescue at the right moment, saving the goblin baby from her demise. Now with the prince on their tail, Alban and his guild must survive long enough to locate the Neptune Stone and decide what to do with its mighty power.
