Chase is finally coming to understand just what being Prince Chase means, and what becoming emperor to the Solarian Empire will mean as well. He's getting better at the job every day, now if only he could just bring himself to tell Captain Witner and the other members of the command staff that he really is a prince, and not the fraud they all believe he is.

Another thing he is starting to learn more about is Imperial politics and the kinds of things princes and emperors are known for, as well as expected to do. He's also discovering that there are a lot of people who still believe he's a fraud, because of Neill's efforts at proclaiming him as such. Of course his criminal background isn't helping him much there.

What is helping him however are some of the people he's discovering, and some of the things he's learning about his family from them. There are still a good many surprises in store for Chase. Hopefully none of those surprises will end up killing him.

In the Wolfhounds series, the line between loyalty and survival is razor-thin, and each decision could shatter an empire—or change the course of its destiny forever. Set against the backdrop of a sprawling, high-stakes universe, the series follows Chase, a man who, by chance or fate, finds himself thrust into the ranks of the Emperor’s elite soldiers: the Wolfhounds. What starts as a brief prison sentence quickly turns into a dangerous and relentless journey into the heart of political intrigue, military strategy, and brutal warfare.

Read full series description

The world of Wolfhounds is one where power is a fragile illusion, and even the smallest betrayal can topple empires. As Chase rises through the ranks, he must navigate complex allegiances, a battlefield filled with not just physical enemies, but deep-rooted betrayals and shifting loyalties. The universe is rich with history, from the complexities of imperial politics to the harsh realities of war and survival, making it a perfect playground for those who thrive on tactical brilliance and unyielding courage.

At its core, Wolfhounds isn’t just about space battles and military conquests—it’s about the evolution of its characters as they grapple with their morality, their place in the universe, and the burdens of power. Chase, once a man of simple desires, is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about duty, honor, and what it means to lead. Alongside him, a cast of complex, morally grey characters add depth to the narrative, each with their own personal stakes in the ever-shifting tides of war.

With every installment, the series dives deeper into the world-building, expanding its scope while tightening the tension between characters and factions. The political intrigue is palpable, and the battles aren’t just fought on the front lines but in the minds of those who would control the galaxy. Whether you’re drawn to high-octane action or the intricate plotting that underpins each decision, Wolfhounds promises an unpredictable ride filled with twists, sacrifices, and the constant question of what it means to be truly free in a world that demands your loyalty.

This series is a must-read for fans of military science fiction, space operas, and stories where the true cost of leadership is revealed in both the decisions made and the lives impacted. Wolfhounds explores the fine line between heroism and villainy, making it a compelling journey into the heart of an unforgiving universe.
