The Empress of Terra is dead. Her daughter is on the run, but the time for running is over.

Jinsha Conwin was born to rule the galaxy, but now she is just another refugee hiding in the furthest corners of the Antares Cluster. With her mother assassinated and the Throne seized by the usurper Lord Jaol, Jinsha has only one asset left: Eryn Aubrey.

Young, lethal, and trained by the legendary Legion, Eryn is the only thing standing between the exiled princess and an Empire that wants her erased. They have found sanctuary on New Caledonia, a storm-wracked backwater world where they hope to disappear among the locals.

But war does not respect sanctuary.

When a ruthless pirate squadron descends on the colony, they find something far more dangerous than a local militia. Eryn and Jinsha are faced with an impossible choice: watch their new home burn, or unleash the weapons of the Genesis Seat and reveal their location.

To save the innocent, the exile must become a commander, and the bodyguard must become an army of one.

The Legion may be gone, but its legacy refuses to die. The end of the road. The final stand. Welcome to the explosive conclusion to the Imperium of Terra trilogy.
