As Jacob Valent leads the Merciless and the rest of his battlegroup across The Cluster to assess threats against the Fleet, Alice Valent starts making good on the promise she made to an alliance of rebel captains to steal at least one recently finished Order of Eden Advanced Destroyer right from the shipyard.
All the while the leader of the Justicars, an elite battalion of Order of Eden Knights, searches for her. His primary mission is to capture her for Admiral Scanlon. The Order's grip on planet Rodus will either start to slip or tighten depending on whether or not Alice's ambitious plans work out. All could be lost if she fails to realize that she's being hunted before it's too late.
