Jarden Penx, king of Tekon Prime, has been condemned to die for the murder and annihilation of millions on Hexons.
The war between Tekon Prime and Hexon is over, and Tekon Prime has emerged victorious. Commander Jarden's battle cruiser delivered the final blow before his own ship went down in flames.
He never expected to survive the devastating crash.
Victory was worth the price.
Now chained before his enemies, the cruel, snake-like Hexons, Jarden stares into the mouth of execution.
He will not plead.
He will not shatter.
But the woman whose testimony sealed his fate is the one who wounds even a warrior king.
Althea Lexan was meant to love him beyond crowns, wars, and worlds. Instead, she delivered him to the executioner.
She would pay the price for betraying her king and the world he had bled to save.
What Jarden does not know is that Althea's betrayal hides a secret terrible enough to break them both.
But Jarden is no broken prisoner, and death is not a fate he intends to obey.
Even as his death sentence was being pronounced, his escape was already engineered. And when he finally returns to Tekon Prime, he will tear through every secret Althea tried to bury.
Once he learns the truth, nothing in the universe will keep him from reclaiming the woman who betrayed him, or from destroying those who turned love into a weapon.
