When Eagles Rise

By Antonis Makridakis

The Solvarium Empire is crumbling.

Senator Lydia Blackwell has spent years maneuvering through the treacherous corridors of power, but as the Consul's seat is contested, she finds herself at the center of a battle that will determine the Empire's future. She has played the game better than anyone-but the game was never meant to be won.

In the East, Commander Gideon Locke fights a different kind of war-one waged not in the Senate halls but in the bloodied streets of occupied towns. He has crushed rebellion before, but when Calder's Rest is torn apart in an attack that feels too precise to be simple insurgency, doubt begins to creep in. The Empire has enemies everywhere, but Gideon's instincts tell him that this time, the greatest threat may not come from the rebels at all.

Caught in that attack is Nathan Carrick. A complete nobody. Just another man scraping by in a town too small to matter. Now, running for his life through an unforgiving world, he must rely on an unlikely ally: a fugitive with blood on his hands and secrets carved into his soul.

As war looms and alliances fracture, these three lives will collide in ways none of them could have foreseen.
Some will rise. Others will fall. And the Empire will never be the same.
