The Lords of Askalon

They gained their freedom. And lost everything.

Jared Alareth may have destroyed the Dragon-Lords and saved Sahara, but there's no happily ever after...not yet. The city of Albadir is in smoldering ruins. Their people are drifting through the void of space on a disabled ship. And they are gambling everything on a desperate rescue mission, unaware that everything they thought they knew has changed.

Their plan is simple enough: steal a ship from the prison moon of K'ilenfir and use it to find their people and bring them home. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems. A ruthless organization known as the Triumvirate has seized control of K'ilenfir. Now a base for a flourishing slave trade, K'ilenfir is home to thousands of survivors from worlds ruined by the Triumvirate's quest for total domination. And when they learn that the Triumvirate has shipped their people to the planet Askalon, what began as a simple rescue operation becomes hopelessly entangled in the fate of an entire world.

In desperate need of help, they throw in their lot with unlikely allies for a price that may cost them all their lives. As the undercurrent of revolution pulls them under, they discover that the Triumvirate's lust for power knows no limits and threatens to destroy everything they set out to save.

The stakes could not be higher. The danger has never been greater. And just when she is needed most, ghosts from Sahara's past threaten to tear her apart and destroy her relationship with the man she loves.

Time is running out, and Sahara and Jared face a terrible choice. Will they fight for freedom once again? And if they do, what will be the cost this time?
