Crown of War (The Crown Wars Saga Book 3)

The galaxy burns under the shadow of Maximus. Reborn and more dangerous than ever, he wages a campaign to crush all resistance and seize the universe for himself. Worlds fall, empires fracture, and loyalties are tested as the war stretches from the Gemini system to the deepest ruins of forgotten planets. Queen Serita rallies what allies she can, but whispers of betrayal and prophecy hang heavy in the air. Ka'reth Vhol moves like a phantom in the dark, weaving psychological snares, while Pershing plots in the shadows with secrets that could change the balance of power. Meanwhile, fugitives Vic-9, Ardent, and the broken warrior Vaelor risk everything to survive the hunters of Maximus and carry hope through the chaos. Across silver seas, burning battlefields, and towers of fire, destiny closes in. The universe trembles on the edge of ruin, and only one truth remains---the crown of war will be won, but at a price none are prepared to pay.
