The Progeny of Destiny (Paperback)

The protracted conflict with the Celadon Empire ended long ago in humanity's greatest victory, bringing with it half a million years of human prosperity and culture across the enormity of the universe. To maintain this long standing Pax Humana; two vast human empires have been established. The sons of the Chalafonte family rule the Dardis Imperial Republic and the Fortinbras daughters reign in The Sovereign Republic of Tendus. When the Priam of the Dardis Imperial Republic unexplainably allows an illegal and dangerous colony to exist unopposed, a crisis ensues-threatening the great human peace. After a violent assassination, negotiations stall and the two empires move closer to a confrontation. Arcturus, the heir apparent of the Dardis Imperial throne, desperately tries to convince his father to maintain peace at all costs. His efforts fail, and an unavoidable war erupts. It's then; the results of an insidious plot by remnants of the old Celadon Empire are exposed, revealing a secret that could bring both empires to their end. Arcturus, suddenly thrown into a position of authority, must confront this secret and his destiny. Will he be able to save the universe from prolonged destruction and restore peace or will secrets regarding his true self destroy him and end universal human peace forever?
