If there weren't so many of the world's new visitors, nobody would believe their outrageous claim. That they come from the future. But they arrive in their millions - a constant stream of people escaping into the past to flee an invasion of murderously savage aliens; people to whom the world now has a responsibility, for they are our children's children. The refugees' time tunnels, the one-way passages that conduct them to a temporary haven on earth, are supposedly secure and adequately guarded by contemporary weapons. But when the alien monsters breach their defences the world is in for an orgy of indiscriminate warfare and slaughter... -
Book I of Finisterre. The planet could have been a paradise for humans,with its fertile farmland and towering ore-rich mountains. But its riches lie beyond their reach.

Only the Riders, a handful chosen by the native Nighthorses, have any kind of protection.

Then comes a time of killing and chaos that climaxes in a blinding day of secrets and blood, terror and truth, with the fates of the Riders, the Nighthorses and an entire world at stake.

The Golden Queen: The insectoid Dronons have slain the human queen Semarritte, throwing the ten thousand worlds over which she reigned into chaos.

With Gallen and the others newly sworn to her service, the young queen begins the great struggle against the aliens.
