To End in Fire

In the latest installment of the Crown of Slaves saga, the already-divided Solarian League faces the aftermath of its defeat by the Grand Alliance, which includes Manticore, Haven, and Grayson. As the League begins drafting a new Constitution to prevent past bureaucratic failures, citizen resentment brews against the Alliance's portrayal as the "good guys" following a controversial surrender. Against this backdrop, reluctant allies from both sides must uncover and confront a hidden interstellar conspiracy known as the Mesan Alignment, which threatens to ignite further conflict in a galaxy still reeling from war.
