"Interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon
Williams." --George R.R. Martin
Blending fast-paced military science fiction and space opera, the
third and final volume in a dynamic trilogy from the New York Times
bestselling author of The Praxis, set in the universe of his popular and
critically acclaimed Dread Empire's Fall series, comes a tale of blood,
courage, adventure, and battle in which the fate of an empire rests in
the hands of two lovers.
Shattered Victory
Star-crossed lovers Gareth Martinez and Caroline Sula have decisively
beaten the forces of the corrupt Zanshaa government. It seems all
there's left to do is to travel to the capital of Zanshaa to reunite the
empire under the banner of the Restoration. Before they can sweep up the
pieces, though, it's revealed that any advance would spring an enemy
trap. To make things worse, their opponents have more resources than
Martinez and Sula could have imagined, and a superior force is now aimed
at the heart of the Restoration.
Shattered Love
But before Martinez and Sula can contend with the gathering enemy
forces, a surprising act of violence on Sula's part threatens their
relationship--and damages their trust. Hurt and confused, Martinez sends
Sula into exile while he tries to recover from his broken heart.
Somehow, these two lovers must repair their relationship in order to
defeat this new enemy threat... especially when more than love is at
stake.
