Two seconds of alarms—then Marcus Cole’s Hornet-class interceptor punches through a Vaelori dreadnought and carves a trench through its command deck.
He should be executed on the spot.
Instead, Commander Veyra—seven feet of white-gold armor and molten-copper eyes—drags him from the wreckage and holds a blade to his throat… until he says the one thing that can’t be ignored:
“The Kreth are about to kill you the same way they killed us.”
In the middle of a collapsing battle line, Marcus forces the Vaelori to abandon doctrine, collapse into a fist, and strike first. Then he volunteers for a near-suicide run in an alien interceptor to identify the Kreth command ship—because if it survives, both species die.
Enemies become assets. Assets become allies. And the first thread of trust is forged in debris, blood, and a choice that shouldn’t exist:
To save the people who would have killed you yesterday.
