Embers

A hundred and eighty years after the invention of faster than light travel, humanity has been united under the banner of the Eire Empire. The Terrans of Sol rule over Earth's colonies with an iron fist from the capital space station of Castle High. Embers of discontent linger under the surface, waiting for the slightest weakness to renew their fight for freedom.

Boston Kun Haldis is a young scion of the Empire's ruling class, who has spent his last ten years in the colonies enforcing Imperial rule over those that abandoned Earth. When he is suddenly thrust back into life at the capital, a world dominated by ruling families and centuries of tradition, he finds himself unprepared for the new kind of political warfare he must now engage in. As the Empire hurtles ever closer to civil war, Boston will be forced to fight for what he believes is right, what is best for his family, and what is best for the Empire.
