But as atrocity and oppression mount on the occupied world, the same drive that led her to become a starship captain turns her against her. The innocent cry out, and Roslyn finds she must answer.

Some say you can't go homeSome say you just shouldn'tDamien Montgomery has risen from nothing to become a Hand of the Mage-King of Mars, empowered to speak with his King's voice and dispense his King's justice across the star systems of the Protectorate.But the rare magical gifts and iron integrity that have lifted him this far are a frail shield against the ties that bind. Duty to his King brings Damien into the heart of an incipient civil war, charged to bring peace between two star systems-one of them his home On the one hand is a woman and a world he loved. On the other are apparent innocents, with evidence of his homeworld's treason.As the evidence and the dead begin to pile up, Damien must decide which he trusts most: his evidence, his intuition-or his heart?

From nobody to nightmareFrom renegade to redeemerThree years ago, Damien Montgomery was on the run from everyone. That is long past now, as the Mage-King of Mars has plucked him from obscurity to take advantage of his rare and powerful magical gifts.The Mage-King has plans for his newest pupil, but Damien is young and inexperienced. To season the young Mage, he is assigned to one of the warrior-judges that rove the Protectorate's stars, the Hands of the King, as an aide and apprentice.The world of Ardennes has seen murder and violence on a scale the Protectorate cannot allow. The Hand suspects hidden treachery, using Damien as bait to draw out the traitors.But when treason explodes and a Hand falls, what can one Mage do against an entire world?

The price of loyalty is vigilanceThe price of ignorance is deathDamien Montgomery, Hand of the Mage-King of Mars, has dealt with pirates, conspiracies, terrorists and space battles in the service of his King. A warrior-judge, charged to maintain peace across the stars of the Protectorate, he is well overdue for a vacation.Most people's idea of vacation isn't a murder investigation, but the Hands aren't most people. A quiet task on an isolated research base seems the perfect mission to Damien and his King alike-until the discoveries of that remote archeology site bring fire and death down on Damien and the scientists alike With more questions than answers, Damien begins to pull the threads of the attack. The trail will lead him to the last place he expects to find enemies: Olympus Mons, the Mage-King's own center of power.And when his quest digs up the darkest secrets of the Mage-King's dynasty, he must decide which comes first: his honor, his oaths-or the truth.

At the heart of humanityAt the beginning of everythingHope can be born... or destroyedFor months, Princess Lorraine Adamant has fled from star system to star system in a desperate attempt to evade the minions of her uncle, the man who murdered her entire family to seize power in the Star Kingdom of Adamant.Thanks to the crew of her ship and her loyal bodyguard, Vigo Jarret, Lorraine has finally reached her goal: the homeworld, Earth. There, she plans to lay her case before the United Worlds, the oldest and greatest of humanity's nations.But to an ancient democracy, the trials of an obscure kingdom are hardly relevant. Lorraine must turn her mind from war to diplomacy, to convince the homeworld to honor its oaths and save her Kingdom.One way... or another.

Her family, gone, destroyed from withinHer kingdom, doomed, tainted by bloodUnless a scion rises to become something... moreIn a single ruthless blow, Commander Lorraine Adamant's favorite uncle murders everyone ahead of him in the succession for the Star Kingdom of Adamant. Only luck and the paranoia of her bodyguard, Vigo Jarret, saves Lorraine's life.On the run in a single starship Lorraine should never have commanded, with a crew she can not trust, she swiftly learns her uncle's hounds are hot on her heels. She must gather every skill, every trick, she has ever learned if she is to survive-and pray the uncle who taught her those tricks is a step behind.Because one thing is certain: Lorraine Adamant will save her Kingdom-or die.

When allies call for helpThe conquered call for libertyThe dead call for vengeance...With whom do you keep faith? After two years, the collapse of the Terran Commonwealth has finally slowed. With communications networks rebuilding, the Successor States are beginning to look to the future-but for some of these states, that is a future to be forged in fire and conquest With warlords leading fleets into their stars, the newborn Weston Republic has called for help from every Successor State they could find. Now, James Tecumseh, founder of the Dakotan Confederacy finds himself fighting shoulder to shoulder alongside Imperator Walkingstick-the man he blames for the fall of the Commonwealth itself As defeats, victories, and lies pile up all around them, the two leaders find themselves at a nexus of blood and fire that will define the future of the Commonwealth's Successor States for all time-if they survive

In times of peace, alliances wither and are forgotten.In times of war, honor must reforge them in fire and steel The United Planets Alliance fought the Kenmiri Empire with a hundred allies at their side. Bound in common cause until genocide broke the Kenmiri-and Kenmiri schemes broke the alliance in turn-those one-time allies still left deep debts of blood and friendship behind.Still, the UPA has forged ahead in the post-Kenmiri times, weaving new economic and military alliances despite their more limited reach. The last thing they are expecting is for a soldier of the Londu, one of those half-forgotten allies, to arrive in Sol itself and ask for help.An unknown alien force, armed with weapons thought unique to humanity, has assaulted the Londu people. To honor debts and promises alike, Rear Admiral Henry Wong and Ambassador Sylvia Todorovich find themselves called to take a fleet farther than any human ship has gone in half a decade-and challenge an enemy they know nothing about.If the Londu are even still there when they arrive...
