Starbound Journey: Bloodlines of Empire

By Arla Jones

He was never meant to choose a side. Now the galaxy depends on it.

The galaxy is burning. The Emperor wants his son back.

The Tower's secrets are darker than they imagined.

As Ivo, Silas, Penelope, and Elias train to master their powers, they uncover a hidden archive of political prisoners, including the deposed king of Midros, Ivo's father. But the revelation is only the beginning.

At a lunar research facility, Silas and Aleehsa find a rebel from Earth-twisted by cruel experiments into something almost inhuman. Tentacles sprout where scars should be, and Akka's modifications hint at a deeper plan for control. Among the wreckage lies the spy-eye: a vital piece of rebel intelligence Silas carries back to the Tower. But sharing it with Sigsbee will force the friends into dangerous territory-and dangerous alliances.

Haunted by the truth of his origins-a clone of Emperor Inimicus-Silas must choose where his loyalty lies. His friends fight for freedom, while the Emperor's shadow looms ever closer. And when Penelope's quest for a cure binds her to the Emperor as his deadly assassin, and Aleehsa's glass feet carry her to the treacherous ball at the heart of the Empire, the lines between duty and survival blur.

The Emperor is watching. Waiting. And he wants his son at his side.

For fans of Amie Kaufman, Leigh Bardugo, and Pierce Brown, Insert Title] is a breathtaking sci-fi rebellion full of heart-pounding twists, moral grayness, and a fight for the future where nothing-and no one-is what it seems.
