Empire Divided
With their Imperator dead, the Karacknid Empire is fractured. Yet if the fourteen Karacknid Clans unite behind a single leader once more, their threat will be as deadly as ever.
Now is the time to strike. Now is the time to avenge James Somerville’s death.
But securing peace and freedom will be no easy task for Emperor Jonathan and his sister, Georgia. Every ship and ally the Empire has built over the last two decades must be called upon—and even then, the sheer scale of the Karacknid Clans dwarfs everything the Allies possess.
With time running out, Jonathan and his commanders have no choice but to go on the offensive and bring the war to the Clans. Their goal is simple: they must ensure the Karacknids never again unite behind one Imperator. If they fail, everything their friends and family have fought and died for will have been for nothing.
Empire Divided is the climactic final installment of the epic twenty-two-book Empire Rising series.
