About this ebook

The adrenaline-fueled, explosive conclusion to the Indranan War trilogy by K. B. Wagers.

Gunrunner-turned-Empress Hail Bristol was dragged back to her home planet to take her rightful place in the palace. Her sisters and parents have been murdered, and the Indranan Empire is reeling from both treasonous plots and foreign invasion.

Now, on the run from enemies on all fronts, Hail prepares to fight a full-scale war for her throne and her people, even as she struggles with the immense weight of the legacy thrust upon her. With the aid of a motley crew of allies old and new, she must return home to face off with the same powerful enemies who killed her family and aim to destroy everything and everyone she loves. Untangling a legacy of lies and restoring peace to Indrana will require an empress's wrath and a gunrunner's justice.

Ratings and reviews

An excellent ending to this arc of the story. The pacing that has stayed so tight throughout leads to a deliciously satisfying and appropriate ending that also leaves the door open for more books in the series. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with all three books as well as how they come together as a series. Hail fully deserves her spot in the pantheon of excellent female sci-fi characters and I'm so excited to see the rest of her story.

All the people who fought to put her in the throne died for nothing she gave it up. The hero feels more like a villain. In a book filled with villains. Not the best star wars book I readed. All so she can get back to be a Gunn runner??? Not my cup a tea. And she not as important then rey or Leia? This hole concept does not fit into the hole empire thing at all. Or Jedi. Ending threw the hole thing out of that ball park with me.
