When eighteen year old Chris is accused of treason, his world is changed forever. Abducted in the night, he wakes in a facility hidden deep in the Californian mountains. There he is subjected to the depraved experiments of the Praegressus Project – a government led initiative to enhance the human race. Unfortunately for Chris, the chances of survival are slim. But only the lucky get to die.

Gaius Drusus, Prince of Cael, has always disappointed his mother. He was meant to be the savior of the worlds, and instead turned out a weak little boy.
Wars may be coming, and the Dowager Empress sends her son through a wormhole into exile, so that her lover can rule.
Except that Gaius makes use of his considerable intelligence to return as a strong young man and claim his throne: now everyone believes him to be the Promised One.
Everyone except Captain Valeria Tylia.
For when she travels to Cael to tell the emperor about her own glimpses into a dire future, Gaius doesn’t care if their worlds go up in smoke. And Valeria can’t let that happen.
Her decision to kidnap the emperor and take him to a derelict Earth throws them into a path of adventure and as they race to put a mega weapon together — and Valeria begins to understand that Gaius may just be the key to mankind’s salvation.

She has no choice in the matter. The empire will stop at nothing. Sigil will belong to them. She will be made to love them, even if they are forced to rip the galaxy apart to claim her.
