Publisher's Synopsis
Gal emp-Umber and Ettian emp-Archon have never been farther apart. Once, they were roommates and best friends, each suffocating under a secret of galactic consequence. When Gal's came to light-that he was heir to the Umber Empire and all of its brutal conquest-the two were forced to flee their military academy, fall in with a brewing rebellion to reclaim the Archon Empire from Umber's grasp, and face their long-held feelings for one another. Then the rebellion discovered Gal's identity, and Ettian had no choice but to unveil his own secret-that he was the long-lost heir to the Archon throne-to save his life. With Gal as his political prisoner, Ettian began the fight to restore his own empire-and to open Gal's eyes to the possibility of a galaxy reclaimed from Umber's greed. But with an escalating war between them, Gal and Ettian must confront what they owe their empires, their friends, and each other if they're ever to forge a universe where the two of them can be together.
