A war with no end. A vendetta that will destroy two commanders.

The war between the Alliance and the Hegemony has spanned countless stars and shed untold blood on a hundred worlds.

For two commanders, Alliance Captain Alcazar and Major Richter of the Hegemony the war has spiraled into a personal feud. Both lead fierce Marines and mechanized soldiers into battle against the other on the green hell of the planet Ayutthaya, and each new fallen warrior only deepens the bitterness and hatred between the two.

But as the conflict rages, the two warriors realize they have more in common than they dare to admit, and their own codes of honor may be what can bring the bloodshed to an end.

If they don’t kill each other first.

Q&A with Richard Fox:

Is this the end of the Ember War books?
The war against the Xaros ends with this story. There's closure, I promise. There will be more from the characters you know and love in future novels.

So you're not going to hit us with book 10?
Nope. Future stories (or those set before the events of The Ember War) will be stand alone.
