About the Book
Caught in the middle of a titanic struggle between two alien
superpowers, the factions of humanity and their allies, the Ildirans,
are under siege. Can they resolve their differences to fight a common
threat?
For the leader of the Roamers, survival means extending a helping hand to others, while the chairman of the Terran Hansa plans to use a new, untested alien weapon regardless of the consequences. And
for the new Ildiran Mage-Imperator, survival involves throwing off the
choking traditions of the Empire – even if it might trigger a civil war.
As old intrigues and dark secrets come to light, a man who is
believed to be long dead returns with an ally who may save mankind. But
this new fragile hope will be threatened by a fresh betrayal – the most
bitter and brutal of them all...
