In a universe of powerful empires, where humans are still reeling from total defeat, the greatest military mind on the planet deserts the effort to take back the Earth. Instead, he seeks personal revenge far across the galaxy in deadly, arena combat.

It has been seven years since the attack that cost Earth its freedom. Seven years since Emily and Christian were killed. Bruised, shaken, and covered in blood, David sews up his injuries and prepares for another day of training, but his plans are upended when a stranger offers a surer path to vengeance. To succeed, David must travel to strange planets, recruit a crew of hostile aliens, and get himself thrown into prison so he can break out the galaxy's most dangerous prisoner. He will complete this mission even if it costs him his life.

Elsewhere, on the planet Canteli, Hanla is her beleaguered nation's top military engineer, but she's also a princess, and the greatest service she can do her people is creating an alliance through marriage. The ceremony doesn't go as planned, and she is forced to go on the run, framed for a murder that might start a war.

Hanla's and David's paths will cross. He seeks revenge, she seeks to expose the truth, but neither suspect they are just pawns in a galactic-scale plot.
