Lords of the Dark

Captain Lees Tarillion was a rising star when he graduated from the Imperial Academy. But ten years later, he’s stranded on the frontier protecting three Imperial star systems without hope of advancement. Summoned by an admiral to a secret meeting, Tarillion is tasked with an impossible mission: find the Lords of the Dark, mythological aliens who are the key to travel between the stars. Put in competition with a vicious captain, Tarillion is thrown into the Empire’s seedy underbelly where he meets a beautiful, mysterious bounty hunter who may hold the answer to his quest—if she doesn’t kill him first.
