Description

THE ALLIANCE IS FRACTURING. Following a stunning Sahiradin victory at the Battle of Halduan, Lycian commitment to carrying on the struggle is waning. Chancellor Penawah is besieged by threats of defection and her appeal to a once stalwart ally fails to soften stubborn hearts. On Earth an irresolute United Earth Council debates whether to prepare for war or chart a course of non-belligerence even as Sahiradin warships prowl the Terran System.

As vulnerable as Earth and the Lycians are, the Sahiradin cannot press their advantage for they too have suffered a grievous defeat, though not at the hands of their enemies. Queen Pashira has perished. Now Khadiem, Pashira’s daughter spawned by artificial means, demands to be recognized as the new Queen of the Sahiradin, but the council of warriors refuses to perform the Ascension Ceremony and install her as their ruler.

While each side in the ancient conflict contends with internal strife, the Apollo Stone comes under the power of someone new, someone whose unbounded ambition for conquest and domination could alter the balance of power more profoundly than any Lycian or Sahiradin victory ever could. But who is the master and who is the servant?
