Born to oppression, Siena is an ordinary young woman, until an act of defiance leaves her scarred and marked as a rebel. She's sold to Ero, a fallen Krey with a desperate plan to redeem his once-powerful family. He intends to enhance slaves by altering their genetic code, increasing their value through an illegal experiment.

Reklin, a bone-armored soldier, hunts them both. His orders come from a mysterious source, but his loyalty to the Empire has no limits.

Noble, soldier, and slave, they are about to discover a dangerous truth–that humans can be augmented. But none can predict the abilities they'll unlock, or the rebellion they'll unleash.

Ero has done the impossible. He's altered the human genome to make slaves more valuable. From world to world whispers are spreading of these powerful new augments. Branded as renegades, Ero and his brother Skorn are hunted by dangerous enemies, including Visika, the head of the Burning Ghosts, the most feared criminal organization across the Empire.

Hoping to recruit more soldiers for House Bright’Lor, Captain Reklin returns to the Hammerdin homeworld, only to find his family threatened by clan leaders. His best chance to keep his family safe is the Sovereign Crucible—a fight to the death against a clan champion. Reklin has trained his entire life for combat but he cannot survive the coming fight. Not alone.

Siena is one of the new Augments, but while others have only one or two abilities, she has many, and continues to discover more. As her talent rises, she is caught between her tenuous friendship to Ero, Skorn’s ambition, and a growing list of greedy factions. All see her value. None see her courage.

It’s a lethal oversight, because when Siena decides she is done being a slave, the whole of the Empire will feel the chains shatter.

House Bright’Lor has established a secret world for augmented humans, built cities, and enhanced more slaves—but their future has never been more tenuous.

Dragorn Bright’Lor, imprisoned for crimes against the Empire, has been forced to watch his sons flourish in his absence. Armed with a powerful new ally, he has never been more dangerous. Ero and Skorn must stop him or risk losing everything, a task made difficult when an explosive secret comes to light.

Reklin is trapped in the Burning Ghosts, the most feared criminal organization in the galaxy. When he continues to try and escape, Visika kidnaps a member of his family to control him. It’s a deadly mistake. She may be the Ghost Queen, but Reklin would defy the Emperor himself to protect his own.

As threats against House Bright’Lor continue to mount, Siena is thrust into the fight. She will need more than powerful abilities to steal cargo ships, avoid discovery from a Ranger team, and infiltrate the military. The risks may be higher but she is the supreme augment, and when enemies and allies finally collide, one thing is certain. A Titan will be born.
