They conquered his home. They killed his father. They made him one of them.

Ragnar Wolfsbane was meant to become chieftain of Meerand.

Instead, he becomes a prisoner of the Ostreich Empire.

Raised among the conquerors, trained by their warriors, and watched by their wyverns, Ragnar must face an impossible choice: fight the empire that destroyed his home, or learn its secrets and turn its power against itself.

His sister Maja fights a quieter battle. Taken hostage and carried into the heart of the imperial court, she must survive a world of politics, manipulation, and dangerous alliances. Gifted with a rare power over minds, she begins to realise that knowledge can be as deadly as any blade.

But empires are never as stable as they appear. Rebellions stir. Secrets spread. And the Wolfsbane name refuses to fade into history.

Playing bodyguard for a grandma vacationing in Artemis City should be an easy day’s work for someone with Raj Demetriou’s skill set—but as the bullets begin to fly, Raj is starting to think he picked the wrong old lady to guard today.

Lasadi Cazinho knows there are harder people to rob than the head of Artemis City’s biggest criminal organization — but probably not many. Still, she’s up the challenge—until a series of mysterious assassinations have her scrambling for her life.

Raj and Lasadi may both be down on their luck. But as a series of near misses and close calls spin their futures into a collision course, that’s about to change.

For the brave Spartacus Division…
…every inch of victory was hell.
Could the Pharaonis finally fall?

After the triumphs of the Battles of the Forts, with Serenea now firmly under Allied control, Brigadier General Spartacus Varinius set his sights upon the Pharaonis home world. The Allies used a tactic reminiscent of Earth’s Second World War—however, instead of island hopping, they began planet-hopping, bypassing Pharaonis strongholds as they zeroed in on the planet Eurysa.

Was the Republic in reach of final victory?

Admiral Ripley Lee Willis had just received his second admiral’s star and additional reinforcements. In a daring maneuver that might alter the course of the war, he struck at the heart of the Zodark Empire. That risk might have cost him his fleet and the command he had worked toward his entire career.

Would Ripley’s fleet outwit his Zodark counterpart?

As the Humtars considered joining the Allies, an old foe emerged from the abyss, sending shivers down their spines.

They thought they had eradicated this evil long ago.

You’ll love this eleventh installment of the epic Rise of the Republic military sci-fi thriller series because the epic battles will make you feel like you are part of the action.
