Dark Horizon

War. The Coalition holds its breath in the shadow of the Fall of Kadesh, the most one-sided defeat in Galactic history. On a trading station called Atmos, in the Ort Cloud of the Orizari system, the war doesn't seem quite real yet. However, Aela-el'Kabar, troublemaker, and ne'er-do-well in the Coalition Infantry, must take command as her small station comes under attack.

But when she is tasked with saving the Admiral of the second fleet, Aela must become the one thing she promised she would never be: a hero, just like her father.
