What to expect

The war has changed.
So has Jace Hawthorne.

After a hard-fought victory, Rising Dawn stands stronger than ever. They’re bolstered by alien allies, ancient technology, and even a captured Overlord warship. For the first time, victory feels possible. Then Connor vanishes.

With no one left to lead, Jace is forced to take command of a rebellion already beginning to fracture. Every decision carries weight. Every mistake could cost worlds.

When whispers of the Relic Fleet surface—a buried Eldra’kaarn armada—Jace sees a chance to end the war. But the trail leads to a dead world, stripped bare by the Overlords and picked clean by scavengers.

If the fleet is real, it could end the war.
If it’s a lie, it could destroy everything Jace has built.
