Haldane Endures, by Charles Kern

Humanity’s great Imperium is collapsing from within. Across the stars, fleets turn on the worlds they once swore to defend, whole systems burn under orders no one can explain, and civil war spreads through the void like a sickness.

For Kertis Andor Haldane, Sovereign of the Haldane Hold, survival is no longer enough. Surrounded by assassins, rebels, traitors, and enemies who would see Dumas and Evertine shattered, he launches a desperate strike against Arden Prime—one meant to draw the darkness toward him before it consumes everything he is sworn to protect.

But Kertis is not the only one fighting for what remains. As Colonel Nadia Kilgore battles to save refugees from monstrous forces on Middenlore, an ancient threat known as the Nexus begins to stir. To endure, Haldane must become vengeance. To survive, humanity may need something more.
