The empire is collapsing... She didn't believe me. Even now she doesn't want it. But when the sirens wail in the distance and she looks into my eyes, there's no denying it. The threat is closer than we ever imagined, and the revelation of this truth is more deadly than the lies she was raised on. We're at our limit, but I won't give up without a fight. And I'm damn sure I won't lose her. Not after everything we've been through. Stella Doukas may have started out as her father's little princess. But I'm going to make her my queen.
