Sword and Star — Sunny Moraine

Since the battle at Peris, Protectorate loyalist Isaac Sinder's determination to eliminate the rebel fleet has only intensified-along with his ambition. The Protectorate is decaying, and it's clear to Isaac that only he can save it, by any means necessary.

As the situation worsens for the rebels, the strain begins to tell on everyone. But more than exhaustion grows within Adam. Something alien has started to change him. Lochlan fights to hold on, but even he may not be able to follow Adam down the dark road ahead.

As Isaac's obsession turns to insanity, it becomes evident that more sinister plans than his are at work. Bound together by threads of fate and chance, Adam and Lochlan turn their eyes toward a future that may tear them apart-if they're lucky enough to survive it at all.
