A Crown of Code and Starlight

In the final moments of a losing war, a legendary commander is betrayed and killed. But for her, death is not the end. Thrown back a decade in time by an ancient artifact, she gets a second chance to rewrite history. Armed with knowledge of the future, she must save those she lost and recruit a band of gifted misfits, forging them into a weapon against a tyrannical galactic empire. Her greatest ally is the sentient AI within the artifact—a guide, a confidant, and perhaps something more. As she unravels conspiracies that span millennia, she discovers her personal war for revenge is just a prelude to a much larger conflict against a universe-devouring horror. Can one woman’s past knowledge save the future from total extinction?
