The death-knell of the Human Galactic Empire has sounded—it is the crash
of an axe against the virgin white marble of the Hall of Accords. It is
the bitten off cry of the Lady Lyral Neuterra whose head lies sundered
from her smooth shoulders to smirch the purity of the hall. It is in the
death of the Emperor at the hand of his own son. It is the whirlwind of a
thousand ships sent to enforce the new Emperor’s will. And only Prince
John-Mark, the Emperor’s youngest son can bring the Empire back from the
edge—back to peace and honor.
Prince John-Mark intended to wed the Lady Lyral—now he can do nothing but
mourn her. And mourn her he shall with the forces of the Houses his
brother banned. Revenge is his great desire—revenge for his father, his
Lady, and his House. Revenge… but he cannot be revenged without tearing
apart the civilization and people he loves.
From the great battle of Acier to the final defeat of the Emperor’s
forces, John must keep in check his own desires. He must subject himself
to the forces around him to repair the rift he helped cause. He must give
up his regency to his friend and cousin and he must ultimately give up his
royalty to the capricious desires of his murderous brother.
In the triumph of the once banned Houses, Prince John-Mark must accept
debasement to end the war—the end of honor.

Prince Devon Rathenberg, the Emperor’s Fox and chief of intelligence, fell
in love with the Lady Tamar Falkeep. This would be a simple lover’s tale
except he would never be allowed to marry the third daughter of the least
Duke in the Human Galactic Empire. Devon could never legitimately declare
his love—the lady would reject any overture as seduction.
Then the unthinkable became reality. In the insurrection that threatened to tear apart the Human Galactic Empire, Devon designed a plan to reveal the Empire’s internal enemies and force them to act. It was a plan of desperation, and a plan that by design would result in Devon Rathenberg’s death.
Before he died Devon had but one goal: he wished to win the heart of Tamar
Falkeep and declare his love.
With the Emperor’s reluctant approval, Devon put his plans into motion.
The place: Duke Falkeep’s annual Ball. The target: Count Domanic
Yedric. The plan: a duel that would force an uprising before Yedric and
his allies were ready to strike, and to be successful, Devon must die.
Devon won the Lady Tamar’s heart, but he didn’t count on her
resourcefulness. Lady Tamar was no feeble maiden. He succeeded in his
intrigue, but she brought him back to life and would not let go.
Now Devon faced a triple problem—first, he gave his love to a woman he
could not legitimately marry, second, he lost his honor to Count Yedric,
and third, the insurrection he caused spread to the House Imperial.
Now, at all costs, Devon, the Emperor’s Fox, must fight the rebellion,
gain back his honor, and hold onto the love of Tamar Falkeep.

Shorn of his lands, regency, title, father, lady, and name, the only thing
left to the Baron Shawn du Locke is his honor. Nothing in the past had
shaken it and nothing would cause him to compromise it—until he met the
Lady Elina Acier.
Elina Acier is the last hope of both the family Acier and the Noble Houses of the Human Galactic Empire. If Acier falls into the hands of the Emperor, few will be safe in the ensuing cataclysm, and to protect the planet Acier from the Emperor, the Lady must marry a Duke’s son.
Baron Shawn du Locke vows to convey Elina to the Imperial Capital to marry
Duke Nior’s son. But that is before Shawn meets the Lady Elina. Elina
Acier is the cousin of Shawn’s long dead love the Lady Lyral Neuterra, and
Elina could be Lyral’s twin.
Shawn once loved Lyral enough to grant her his House and to fight a war in
her name—now he is honor bound to deliver Elina Acier, Lyral’s twin, to
marry another man.
So begins a breakneck race across space—a race against time, intrigue,
death, and love. Every time Shawn looks at Elina, he sees Lyral. Every
time she speaks, it is as if he hears a voice from the grave. And every
time he thinks about Elina, he remembers how his own actions led to
Lyral’s death.
Shawn must safely deliver Elina to the Imperial capital. He must do so
before the Emperor discovers and kills Elina, and before her presence
drives him insane… or he falls in love.
What of Elina? Can she respect a disgraced noble? Can she love a man undone by her appearance and the sound of her voice? Can she accept a man in love with a ghost out of the past? This time, Shawn promises himself over and over, this time he will succeed—this time. |
