Get swept away into a lush and romantic space opera that transcends time, untangles court intrigue, and spans the entire Galactic Whorl.
A Republic soldier
A reluctant Emperor
When love and duty collide, who wins?
Layla is a patriotic soldier of the Altainan Republic. And patriots don't ally themselves with rival empires. But when she reencounters the handsome imperial noble she fell in love with years before, she falls again. Hard. And she decides: she's going to marry that man. Duty be damned.
Unfortunately, he's also the new Valharan Emperor.
And their planets are about to go to war.
As tensions rise between the two worlds, Layla's attempts at neutrality go awry. She finds herself unsafe and threatened, a foreigner no matter where she lands. Eventually, instability in their isolated galactic community leaves it ripe for invasion. Layla has to overcome her dual loyalty and end this war for once and for all-before the Whorl goes up in flames, and she loses the man she loves.
