A hidden prince enters a deadly succession trial to reclaim his birthright.
Caelen Vance grew up on a backwater planet with no inkling he was the last heir of Atherin, a dynasty erased by the Void Lord. At twenty-six he travels to Orisa and is thrust into a brutal competition for the throne alongside pilot Liyana Ryder, who agrees to a sham betrothal that gradually becomes genuine. Caelen must awaken the dormant Star Core within him, master his latent imperial abilities, and confront the tyrant responsible for his family's slaughter before Orisa meets the same fate.
