They merely waited. Watching. Planning.
And those plans will collide with the rising stars of an empire based on justice and action. Out in the deep black, Abel Tudor and his crew will fight to prove that command isn't given, it's earned— And their parents chose well, giving them the helm to a warship that could change history with one fateful journey.

It can be lethal. Especially for the young, no matter who their parents are.
