The galaxy is on the brink of war, but there remains some hope that the plans can be exposed before it's too late, in this astonishing space opera from the critically acclaimed game Twilight Imperium

The balance of power is shifting, with bold new alliances, unknown invaders and the rumored return of the galaxy's old masters. When black-ops spy Amina Azad saves a Hacan ambassador from death, she takes him into her investigation into a vast conspiracy: invisible forces are destabilizing the entire galaxy, at the worst possible time.

Pursued by agents from dozens of other factions, they can only make progress by allying with their enemies. But how can they trust an alliance when they may not even be able to trust themselves?
