Living in exile on a deserted planet, Sauscony and
Jaibriol, each the heir to an interstellar empire, become
entangled in the machinations of the Skolian Empire.
Interstellar war erupts and Jaibriol is snatched away to
be the unwilling ruler of the Highton Aristos. Sauscony
must lead an invading space fleet to rescue him from his
own Empire-without revealing that they are married. With
much of interstellar civilization poised on the brink of
destruction, it is the devotion of these two lovers, their
sacrifices, and their heroism, that might just forge a new
order.
