About this listen

In a galaxy long ago but not so far away, students from across a thousand worlds gather at Aurora University on Homeworld, one of the most prestigious—and expensive—colleges in the galaxy. Here, they build connections that will shape their futures and navigate the high-stakes pressures of galactic society.

Born into one of the most powerful families in the galaxy, Sam Warpwell has always carried the weight of expectations. Groomed for a future in politics, his path seemed set in stone—until a whirlwind of betrayal, love, and duty upends his world. In his final year, two remarkable women enter Sam’s life: Carol Comet, a principled Star Legion cadet and daughter of an industrial magnate, and Cybil Orban, the ambitious daughter of his father’s political rival.

As Sam is pulled between love, loyalty, and his family’s legacy, he faces a life-changing choice: follow the path his family has laid out for him, or forge his own future in the Star Legion. Can he reclaim his honor and find his true purpose before it’s too late?

Prerogatives of Privilege is a character-driven tale of personal growth, sacrifice, and redemption, set against the looming conflict of a galaxy on the edge. With immersive world-building and rich, emotionally charged characters, this novel will captivate fans of space opera, military fiction, and heartfelt drama. As the third book in the Hearts and Heroes of Homeworld and Beyond series, it stands alone—no prior knowledge is needed to enjoy this traditional-values tale of adventure and romance.

Perfect for fans of character-driven, traditional-values adventure fiction set against a galaxy of interstellar intrigue and timeless myth. And best of all, it’s based on a true story…sort of.
