Hero’s Trials (eBook)

Description

How far can a hero go to save his Empire before he becomes something else?

Empress Elizabeth is dead, murdered by conspirators determined to reshape Britannia for their own ends. Now Emperor Edward has called a conclave that could redefine the Empire—and determine the future of the Lion Throne. But while politicians debate, the conspiracy is preparing for war.

Rebel shipyards are refitting stolen warships. Hidden fleets wait among the stars. System leaders are being threatened, blackmailed, and coerced into choosing sides. And the people behind it all are willing to sacrifice anyone—or anything—to get what they want.

Hazard has spent a lifetime defending Britannia from enemies within and without. This time, he intends to end the threat once and for all. While Raven and the resurrected Imperial Security hunt the conspirators from the shadows, Hazard takes the fleet straight at the rebellion—knowing every battle may cost him ships, friends, and another piece of himself.

Because victory is no longer enough. 

To secure his son’s throne and save the Empire, Hazard may have to cross lines he shouldn’t. And when the conspiracy makes its final, desperate move, Hazard will face the greatest trial of his life.

The Empire is fracturing, the conspiracy is armed, and Hazard is done playing defense.
