Fortress Republic

FOUNDATIONS OF BLOOD...

Ian Davion--Prince's Champion of the Federated Suns--is a warrior who has lost his way. Amidst political rmoil and the shifting fortunes of war, he struggles to find his destiny....

Julian's First Davion Guards have restored order on Terra. The Republic is closing its borders, keeping its core intact while leaving farther-flung worlds to fend for themselves. But The Republic is not only being attacked from without--it's being undermined from within, and the hunt for seditionists continues.

Ex-knight and now-senator Conner Rhys-Monroe still leads the fight to destroy The Republic from the inside. He is expertly opposed by Countess Tara Campbell, leader of the Highlanders and The Republic's best hope on the outside. Terra lies at the center of their titanic tug-of-war, where Julian struggles to keep his footing in a situation shifting like blood-drenched quicksand.
