A city to defend. An empire to topple. And a street kid with impossible magic.

Pax and the rebellion pulled off the impossible by seizing the empire's city and rallying thousands to their cause. Victory parades. Captured nobles in chains. The whole works.

But all that did was prove the rebellion is an actual threat to the empire. Now, the empire's most ruthless commander is massing his forces for a counterattack that could crush everything they've built. He's determined to make an example of every rebel.

Pax and his crew can't let that happen. Guerrilla strikes against supply lines. Hit-and-run tactics with their beast companions. Anything to buy time and weaken the empire's advance while they prepare to take on the full imperial army.

To truly stop the empire and root out the shadowy organization that destroyed his family, Pax will take the fight to them, even to the capital itself. Good thing he's not alone. A wealth of loyal allies and friends are ready to risk everything to help him.

The empire should have killed him when they had the chance.
