Empire Burning

In the first volume of an epic space opera trilogy inspired by Twilight Imperium, the crumbling empire of the Lazax faces an existential threat as factions vie for power amid the looming specter of war. With their ancient doctrine of strength and peace unraveling, the Barony of Letnev's blockade of a vital wormhole ignites tensions that could plunge the galaxy into darkness. Caught in the maelstrom is Zara Hail, an official for the Federation of Sol, as factions grapple with the choice to resist their authoritarian masters or succumb to their oppression.
