If you're going to start a war, know the risks. Ironvale. Splitdawn. Poisoncry. Three bloodthirsty guilds that control the decaying corner of space called the Reaches. This balance of power exists at a tipping point. One nudge and chaos reigns. Sela Tyron is willing to supply that nudge to help her partner with an important rescue.

Even if it means trusting a shifty Guild spies with his own agenda. Or turning herself into an assassin for a cunning warlord. Suit up. Time to join the fight. For fans of gritty, epic space opera, this third title in the Allies and Enemies series has been voted a Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel by DragonCon. Praise for the Allies and Enemies series: For fans of space operas like "Farscape" and "Firefly," this novel -- the first in a trilogy -- is well worth a look. Genetically engineered to be the loyal soldier of a totalitarian intergalactic regime, Sela Tyron follows her sense of right -- and her heart -- when her commanding officer becomes a wanted fugitive. The propulsive plot involves family secrets, ancient mythology, "mindjacking" and plenty of kick-assery, with a refreshing gender reversal.
