Honor Harrington has won another battle for the Royal Manticoran Navy. The People's Republic of Haven launched a surprise attack against the Kingdom of Manticore and failed completely. Haven's military lies in ruins while their political leaders tear each other apart in violent power struggles. Manticore celebrates its triumph, but victory brings unexpected dangers. Honor finds herself pulled into a domestic political crisis that threatens everything she values. An old enemy she believed defeated has returned to destroy her reputation and career. The battlefield has shifted from space combat to political maneuvering, and Honor must fight alone. She faces an impossible choice between two forms of destruction. Death would be simple compared to the alternative: a hollow victory that would strip away her honor and cost her everyone she cares about. Honor must navigate treacherous political waters without the training or weapons that served her in military combat.
