The thrilling conclusion to The Kindom Trilogy that began with the Philip K. Dick Award-winning These Burning Stars, the epic space opera novel about revenge, power and the price of legacy.

Violence has erupted across the Treble. The colony that Jun Ironway and Masar Hawks have fought to protect is now woefully compromised, and its people, unwilling to submit to tyranny once more, face a brutal fight for their lives and freedom.

In the midst of upheaval and rebellion, new enemies arise from every corner, including a familiar player who won't let power slip through his fingers again. Not when he has every Kindom Hand under his heel. And whether he will be as bloody minded as his predecessors remains to be seen.

As the quiet ones launch their attack and all hope seems lost, Cleric Chono must turn to unlikely allies to fight a final battle for peace. But one crucial question remains: where is Six?
