Exiled prince fights succession trial to reclaim throne and save empire.
Prince Caelen Vance was spirited away as an infant when the Void Lord seized Atherin and slaughtered the imperial family. Raised in obscurity on a distant world, he journeys to Orisa twenty-six years later seeking the truth of his lineage. There he allies with Liyana Ryder, a contender in the lethal succession trial, and they feign an engagement to strengthen their position. As genuine feeling grows between them, Caelen must recover his Star Core, awaken the dormant imperial power within him, and confront the usurper before Orisa meets the same fate as his homeworld.
