Prologue: A Better Beginning This second edition of The Dacturian Princess is more than a revision-it's a restoration. The first edition was launched when I believed it was ready, but as every creator eventually learns, sometimes you only discover what a story can be once you've seen it through others' eyes. This remastered edition is what The Dacturian Princess was always meant to be-complete, cohesive, and presented with the attention to detail the story and its readers deserve. For those who picked up the original: thank you. Truly. Your early support helped shape this final form. And for those just arriving: welcome. You're holding the definitive version of the beginning. Now, let us leave the past behind-for the future is already waiting. The Dacturian Princess (2nd Edition) She thought she was charting a course for survival. Instead, she sparked the rebirth of an entire planet. When tech genius Evelyn Mitchell and her fleet are pulled through a temporal anomaly, they crash into the past-stranded in 16th-century Earth with technology centuries beyond its time. Faced with a fractured world on the brink of global collapse, Evelyn must do more than survive. She must reimagine civilization itself. From Angel Island to interstellar palaces, from ancient forests to orbiting space stations, The Dacturian Princess is a sweeping tale of diplomacy, defiance, and destiny. Evelyn's vision of a society without hunger, money, or war collides with the broken empires of Earth's past-and the ruthless alien factions watching from above. But revolution is never simple. With AI-guided cities, shape-shifting diplomats, and starships built from living metal, Evelyn and her allies forge the Intergalactic Cooperative of Planets-a beacon of unity in a galaxy still reeling from conquest. Yet even as Earth blooms anew, a darker threat looms in the stars... one that remembers her name. In this completely remastered second edition, the definitive version of The Dacturian Princess arrives-expanded, re-edited, and more immersive than ever before. Welcome to the beginning of the future.
