The throne and the girl are his…if he can complete 3 impossible tasks.

Lord Comron was born into a lower house and had zero chance of ever laying claim to the emperor's throne…until now.


To exceed his wildest dreams, Comron will have to -

1. Win the heart of the gorgeous, but feisty, hot-blooded heiress
2. Elude a psychotic father who demands Comron abandon the foolish quest and return home.
3. Outwit the powerful dark forces that wish to keep the throne for themselves.

Even if he succeeds, the blood thirsty Murkudahl warriors are beating a path to their door to take revenge against the people who have been killing their brethren.

Join Comron on this fast-paced, action-packed, steamy romantic adventure.

--"Chase builds tension like nobody's business...and manages to work in a fantastic love story along with a well-paced, intelligent and action-packed plot." - Amazon.com Reviews

Editorial Reviews

Review

In the author's first novel, the opening of a trilogy, Chase mixes adventure and romance for an action-packed adventure involving rivalry, intrigue, love, war and jealousy. The well-written, fast-paced plot moves from one dilemma to another, ramping to a fevered pitch when Vaush's true origins are discovered...which complicates the romance. Meanwhile, the Van Laven House--along with seemingly everyone else in the empire--plots to kill her as the lovers race their pursuers to Novoxos, aided along the way by the Murkudahl and a mysterious group of mercenaries, setting the stage for the rest of the trilogy. The writing is crisp, the pacing excellent. An intriguing study of love and trust wrapped in exhilarating adventure--a big win for action and romance fans.-- Kirkus Reviews

A fresh guilty-pleasure series, this powerful story is the perfect marriage of action/adventure and romance. There is no indication that the tension or pace would falter in future installments, and the tangle of secrets and hidden loyalties provides more than enough interest to keep reading. -- Forward Reviews

Hooked from the first line, I had no choice but to devour this novel from start to finish.From the opening pages about Lady Vaush unknowingly rescuing Lord Comron, I was immediately sucked into the intergalactic setting of “Throne of Novoxos.” And as the war for the throne of the imperial dynasty ravaged on, I only grew increasingly invested. The romance, too, only compelled me to read further.To top it all off, “Throne of Novoxos” is an incredibly well-written story. It’s written in the third person perspective, uses figurative language appropriately and significantly, and even includes a ton of sensory details to keep readers grounded throughout different scenes.I found this novel to be an incredibly easy and entertaining read not only because it was so well written, but also because its plot was interesting and its characters were exciting.I would definitely recommend this novel to anyone with an attraction to dark romance, epic adventure, and excellent writing!

The Throne of Novoxos
Life within the States of the Empire was one of turbulence and the threat of war among the Houses, and of revolution. Disguised, Lord Comron, of the House of VanLaven, and Lady Vaush (and her bodyguard) of the House of Bastionli, are on a transport vehicle which is sabotaged, and crashes. Vaush is alive, strapped in her seat, courtesy her bodyguard. She finds only Comron alive. She (being of good heart) follows his pleas for help, only to recognize him as a born and sworn enemy. She saves him anyway!.
The story tells of their travels and travails being together, and the aftermath of this around the Empire. Much later in the book, she reminisces to Comron: “I’m just thinking about how radically my life has changed over a matter of four weeks. I meet and fall in love with my family’s nemesis, marry him, start a war, discover I’m not Bastionli after all and oh, by the way, I’m also the long lost daughter of Emperor Sorren and heir to his throne.”
And lots of sex! Some might say too much; others may say it is circumstantial, and the culprit is really the memorable clarity of the writing.
Amid this personal story are the machinations of the Houses - Great, Middle, and Minor Houses; the threat of war; and searches to find and kill them before they got home. And there is lots of distrust, guilt, devotion, murder, madness, misunderstandings; and capture/escape. But there is unexpected and critical help too to Comron and Vaush.
Marriage plays a large role in attracting assets or power or military might. Love does not necessarily feature in a marriage. Vaush and Comron keep love strong in their secret marriage, but despite her protestations, Vaush seems finally to capitulate to the idea of Comron having a second marriage. At the end of the book after a majority of the Houses endorse Vaush as empress, Comron somewhat summarily says: “The empire is mine – to rule and defend”…. Makes you wonder.
The book is very well written, and reading flows easily. It is centered on the two main characters with subjects like House machinations and Sci-fi not heavily intervening on the main thread of the story. There is excitement and tension; and dangers and injuries prevail, but the process of reading stays on an even keel. For me what makes a book ‘not-put-downable’ is being on a relatively high level of readability; taking the reader there, and holding him there. This book does that.
The characters are very strong, which fits the surrounding environment of the story, and the need for quick decision-making and quick action.
There is much sex, written with as much clarity. Sex is a power – perhaps there can never be something like ‘dainty sex’. The description of the sex act seems to represent the characters – the powerful, animalistic, conquering (sex- as- punishment) Camron and the receiving Vaush (even when it is painful). The most insulting comments/repartees reference sex or the sex organs. I feel such is consistent with the story, and the lifestyles of the characters. But I personally would have less of the “my love” identification (too mushy and too questioning). But maybe the author wants our focus on this book as a love story?

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring the NEXT book NOW!!!!!

When I started reading this book, I thought it would be another one of those where the two characters would meet and then fall in love and they would fight. I thought it would take a romantic turn and be a cliche!!

BUT NO! I couldn't have been more wrong.

This book had so much of depth and twists and turns at every moment.

The book starts off with The Crown Prince of Nethic, Comron Van Laven, and his family at an execution for people who have revolted against the empire. Tables turn when Nethic finds out that it is under attack and something has to be done urgently.

On the other side, Vaush Bastionli, from the Ti-Laros family is on her way to conclude negotiations with a buyer. Nethic and Ti-Laros are sworn enemies of each other and enemities have run deep for several years. Generations have held on to that hatred and this has propagated the spewing garbage that they feel for each other.

Slight spoilers ahead..

Their worlds flip when the plane that Vaush and Comron are on, is hijacked and crashes and maroons them on an island with little known civilisation. Vaush escapes unhurt but Comron is at the doorsteps of death. What happens next, changes the lives of not only these two, but the whole futuristic world.

I was so hooked on to the book. It was lengthy, I must admit, but having said that, there were twists at every step which made me want to find out what happened next. The whole journey from their rescue to the events that transpire next, really brought a futuristic world in front of me.

The only thing I was marveling here was that, I don't clearly recall any date or year. Neither was it scientifically inundated with improved technologies and genetic mutations. The planet all these countries were on, resembled earth and that helped me with getting more comfortable with the story.

I found Comron to represent the Yang element, the open, the loud, the angry and the testosterone element from society. He was the insane, the humane and the driven one. His commitment and love for Vaush drove me to tears and his insanity when Crausin invaded his mind, made me fear him. He is a true alpha male.

Vaush on the other hand, embodies Yin perfectly. Yin, the cold element, yet the feminine and gentle one. Vaush embodied everything good. She took on many characteristics which made her admirable in my eyes. Her disregard for societal classes, her social work, her focus on the downtrodden, in the efforts to make the world a better place. She was the total embodiment of yin in terms of being soft, delicate, feminine, sensual and confident.

I absolutely did not anticipate how events would unfold when Vaush and Comron fall in love. What happens next totally rocked my socks out. I did not expect the curveball that comes Vaush's way and also how Comron risks everything to help her.

The Murkudahl twist was something I really loved. It took my attention from the small struggle that Vaush and Comron were facing into something of national, heck worldwide importance. It took the book to a whole new level.

People. This book has a FANTASTIC ENDING!!!!!! I could really feel for Comron and Vaush. I felt for them and I could feel their anguish doing whatever they were doing. I felt like the book ended at a perfect stage, laying a brilliant foundation for the next two books.

I CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT wait for the next two books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Scifi Series!
Reviewed in Canada on March 27, 2017

THRONE OF NOVOXOS: VAN LAVEN CHRONICLES written by Tyler Chase is a wonderfully written and well thought out novel. This book is full of suspense, surprises and is overall a wonderful read. The writing style is captivating, and kept my interest to the point I had troubles putting the book down. I believe each reader will have their own opinion of the main character Comron, but personally I did not like him… of course further on in the book I realized why I didn’t like him, I won’t spoil it for you as it is a great twist, but he was not the type of main character I would have hoped for in a book like this. His love interest is a wonderful character that I fell for immediately. This SciFi story is one of love like Romeo and Juliet but with interplanetary action thrown in. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next in this series. I highly recommend this book and the author, Tyler Chase!

A compelling mix of sci-fi, fantasy and psychological thriller, this book had me reading well past bed time. The writing style is rich and very detailed, so the author manages to paint a very graphic picture of the main characters, and of the futuristic world which they inhabit. I particularly liked how the love affair between Vaush and Comron develops as the book progresses; the challenges they face together really keep you hooked.

It’s difficult to say what sort of readership this book would be most suited towards, as it contains elements of so many genres. I’d say that if you like big budget movies, with lots of action and suspense, then this is probably the literary equivalent.

This is a substantial read, from an accomplished author, and comes highly recommended.

A very captivating read, what attracted me to purchasing this book was the similarity with Games of Thrones.
However the story itself is very different to that of Game of Thrones.
Without giving too much away, the story follows the main Character Comron's journey to the throne and the battles he has to endure during this process. The plot also features a love story, overall a good read would recommend it.
