Spreading chaos, one planet at a time

Royal and Moon’s army grows, but so are threats from forces on Azteca and beyond. Armed with a brilliant new resource that gives the fallen gods a distinct advantage, our wannabe intergalactic crime lords become bolder in pursuit of their goals.

But even they risk taking on too much too soon. Their human followers – devoted to the idea of wreaking havoc across the stars – could be the first to fall victim.

The penultimate chapter in the five-book saga takes an explosive turn as the future catches up to Royal and Moon.

The war is over, and there are no winners. Just a broken galaxy.

Now humans and aliens must share this war-torn galaxy. None of this matters to Drake, though, he’s just an artist. He’s tagging along on the busted up ship Trystero, along with its ragtag crew. Together, they traverse the Demilitarized Zone between Terran and Gra’al borders, taking on any job they can find. Big or small. Human or alien.

The galaxy changes when the crew encounters a derelict alien ship, its crew slaughtered. With his dying breath, a crewman points them to a box. In it? An abandoned alien baby. When their government refuses to get involved, Drake and the crew need to return the baby they’ve been calling Bruce home, a bloodthirsty warlord on their tail.

His quest? Find Bruce and claim the Gra’al throne, declaring a new war on humanity.

Drake never wanted to be a hero… now he’s all that stands in the way of a fragile peace between humans and aliens.
