Ashes of Empire, Crown of Stars

Reborn into a desolate corner of the cosmos, a lone woman carries the ghost of a forgotten golden age: the complete knowledge of a lost, superior civilization. She is a spark of revolution in a vast galactic empire rotting from within, where genetic hierarchies and stagnant technology pave the road to ruin. Wielding forgotten science as her weapon and unmatched strategy as her shield, she rises from hunted survivor to fearsome commander. To secure her future, she forges a marriage of convenience with a powerful magnate, an ambitious man who sees her as the ultimate investment. Their alliance, born of cold calculation, blossoms into a partnership of equals poised to either save humanity or tear the galaxy asunder in their quest to build a new dawn.
