A decade after leading a revolution that toppled an oppressive empire, Darrow finds himself an outcast, waging a rogue war against the very Republic he founded. As he fights to reclaim his place, a new threat emerges - the displaced heir to the old order, Lysander, seeks to unite the divided Golds and crush the fledgling democracy. In the shadows, a young Red refugee, Lyria, makes a desperate bid for freedom, while Darrow's own son, Pax, is abducted by enemy agents. With power hanging in the balance and the future of the worlds at stake, the fight for a new dawn may plunge the galaxy into a new Dark Age.
