The heirs of an Empire

Synopsis

The war has devoured the remains of the Old Empire. The old noble houses have been reduced to ashes and the fanatic sects dispute their control of human destiny and only fragments of a lost civilization remains. Nicodemus, the last Nefut leader, escapes through the remains of the Milky Way with the shadow of Kurgan and his heels. Each leap of curvature is a desperate attempt to hold onto life while his persecutors's relentless war machinery consumes whole worlds without mercy. At Continuus, the last hope of mankind, heirs of extinct lineage seek to resurgere from ashes. Muzio Sforced-Médici, a descendant of the imperial range, seeks to forge a new partnership between redeemed warriors, strategists and traitors. But his destiny was intertwined with that of Majlah Arrhyn--manasseh, an heir of an ancestral power that could change the course of war. Meanwhile, Cinnia, marked by his past, faces a mortal dilemma: to accept his place in the new order of the Dark Sisters or to be devoured by the forces that have sworn to put an end to her. The board pieces are moving. The Fairy of Inquisitors resurges, war intensifies and the echo of a new Empire begins to resound in the galaxy. But in a universe where betrayal is the only constant, only the strongest - or most cunning - can claim their place among the stars. The heirs of an Empire is the seventh book of the Epic Khaos and Darkness saga, a brutal and fascinating journey through war, politics and the destiny of mankind in its struggle for survival.
