One of my current projects, Rise of the Dark Son is a hard science fiction novel by Erin Durante, author of the Damewood Trilogy, set in a post-apocalyptic medieval-style world.

About the novel:

Just when they thought that their friends were behind them…

After detonating the bomb that destroyed the Ordi’s labs, halting the creation of their engineered army, Nadia and Vestro embark on their own mission to return home to Damewood and gain the support of its army while King Andrew of the Pearl Isles readies his kingdom for the coming war against Krill.

But the moment of peace before the storm is broken when Nadia’s young child is kidnapped, and in return for the boy’s safety she is forced to betray her allies and the kingdoms she swore to defend.
