A son's quest. A mother's fight. A father's descent.
Grey Soleis ended the war by crossing every line the Ascendancy claimed to uphold. He disobeyed orders. He went rogue. He even attempted to destroy an entire world-because he believed the alternative was worse.
Now the fighting is ending. And the Ascendancy wants its greatest war hero arrested.
When Grey vanishes without a trace, his son Roth faces an impossible choice: remain loyal to the military that raised him, or desert everything he knows to find his father-and face execution if he's caught.
As insurrection spreads across their homeworld, Alora fights to hold Telam and her family together before the Ascendancy rewrites Grey's legend into a warning.
And with every story Roth uncovers, he is forced to confront the question no monument can answer:
Was Grey Soleis ever truly a hero-or only the criminal they needed him to become?
Breaking Colossus is a character-driven political space opera of legacy, loyalty, family, and the stories empires tell to justify power.
