When he rebelled against his father, Edmon Leontes lost everything, but a whole lot has happened in the twelve years since he left his remote control home world of Tao.

He has made a fresh existence for himself as the medic aboard a starship, earning his keep traversing the galaxy having a misfit staff. Edmon feels he has left his tumultuous former behind him, however all that adjustments when his dad dies. Phaestion, the man he once called brother, has inherited Edmon’s birthright. But Phaestion’s ambitions of domination are not limited to Tao, and he’s not willing to let a rival-even one in exile-continue living.

Phaestion’s quest for power spans the world, running afoul of forces no one is fit to become meddling with. Edmon should confront his previous as he and his crew competition across worlds to uncover the origins from the Fracture…and save the universe from complete damage.
