EXILE OF THE STARLIGHT

Kael Ardyn, once a decorated pilot of the Interstellar Council, is falsely accused of treason after the death of his brother, Commander Taren Ardyn. Stripped of honor and exiled to the lawless Frontier, Kael is thrust into a world of smugglers, mercenaries, and hidden agendas. There he crosses paths with Lyra Veyra, a mysterious woman bound to the alien starship Ark, a vessel of unimaginable power. Drawn together by danger and fate, Kael and Lyra uncover a conspiracy that reaches into the Council’s highest ranks. But Kael’s greatest shock comes when he discovers that Taren is alive—reborn as the feared Ghost Admiral, commander of a shadow fleet loyal to the Council in name but answerable only to him. Taren claims he is biding his time to turn against the Council, yet his ruthless methods and betrayal cast doubt on his true intentions. Torn between blood loyalty and the bonds he forges with his new crew, Kael must decide whether to stand with his brother or against him. As the Council, the Ghost Admiral, and the power of the Ark collide, Kael’s choices will decide the fate of the Frontier—and the woman he has come to love.
