Publisher's note

Two men, two empires. Jaibriol ruled the Eubian Concord: over two trillion people across more than a thousand worlds and habitats. Kelric ruled the Skolian Imperialate. War had come before--and it might come again, devastating vast swathes of the galaxy. Neither Jaibriol nor Kelric wanted war, but neither was complete master of his realm. And each hid a secret that, if revealed, might be his downfall. Jaibriol was a secret psion, with telepathic abilities, and to be a psion in the Eubian Concord was to be a contemptible slave, eventually to be tortured for the pleasure of the slave's owner. Kelric, years ago, had disappeared for nearly two decades. He had been a prisoner and slave on the planet Coban, part of neither empire, until he had managed to escape. And if the Skolian Imperialate knew of his captivity, there would be demands for vengeance, ravaging Coban--and killing the wife and children Kelric had left behind when he escaped.

Neither man knew how much longer he could keep his secret--nor how much longer they could hold back the threat of a war that could incinerate hundreds of inhabited worlds.

Despite their own aversion to war, the leaders of two powerful interstellar empires--Jaibriol, head of the Eubian Concord, and Kelric, ruler of the Skolian Imperialate--find their realms plunging toward the possibility of devastating conflict as each man desperately hides a secret that could bring about his downfall, in a new novel in the Skolian Empire series. Reprint.
