Renaissance: A Novel of Azdhag Survival
by Alma Boykin
Two generations after the Great Relocation, internal tensions threaten to tear the Azdhag Empire apart. The Great Lords want the Free-towns forced into submission, even as the colony worlds argue for more independence within the Empire. When a new imperial governor sets Pokara against the Empire, the crown-prince and a Free-towner lord struggle to hold things together. Back on Drakon IV, the king-emperor grows impatient with recalcitrant nobles even as a possible interstellar invasion force approaches the edges of imperial space.
