Publisher's Synopsis
Monsters, saviors and weapons--the Vanguard don't care what they're called. All that matters is that they answer the call when people cry out in need. The core worlds of the Roma Union are in the line of fire. Untouched by war for hundreds of years, they've become used to peace. The Maurakians, bearing new technology, can go wherever they want; with little warning, the blanket of safety that humanity has created is ripped away. Once again the Vanguard are called upon to act. To give their lives for others and hold out no matter the circumstances, their target, Indalia. What does it matter if you defeat the enemy in front of you, only to have your ally place a blade in your back? Rely on your family. Every decision Mark makes will have devastating consequences that could change the direction of the Maraukian war and humanity's path forward.
