As Brisham incites rebellion throughout the quadrant, Dorian has sworn to protect him even though his newest plan is pure suicide.

Forged together in the struggle for freedom and trying to outrun a relentless Katus, Brisham conceals devastating secrets from Dorian, one that would shame him and the other that would kill the legend.PROLOGUE Under the reign of the legendary Oda, the Race Empire had conquered and enslaved more civilizations, controlled more planetary systems and imposed its will and laws on more people than any other civilization in the annals of history. Conquest and domination ran through their veins. The Race Empire were masters of the known worlds. But the emperors that followed Oda's death in 8012 could hardly maintain the Empire and slowly, almost imperceptibly, it began to crack. By 8269, scattered resistance in the colonies had spread, suddenly giving hope to those who once had none. The new Race Emperor, a decedent of Oda, Tityus, restored fear throughout the lands by meeting even the slightest hint of revolt with quick and ruthless response. Yet he knew his warriors needed more than police actions to restore their wrath; they needed conquest. Then, like a miracle from Oda a dramatic technological advancement propelled the Race into a corner of the universe where fertile and rich new worlds lay ready to be conquered. The Empire was rejuvenated; millions of Race soldiers were reborn, conquest and domination ran hot in their veins again, their thirst ready to be quenched. On the surface the Empire was whole again, but the seeds of rebellion had been sowed deep. As Tityus sent out his armies led by his son, Katus, the Empire's greatest threat emerged from within: the Chosen One. Preordained by hundreds of civilizations, he was a mythic figure who would unite the enslaved and destroy the Empire. Without notice he had been born and had quietly grown into a man. It was the year 830
