   Summary

   Commander Hollander keeps the Lunare war machine upright - with discipline, wards, and control so rigid it's practically religion. Champion Ilya Rozanov fights for the Solari like a wildfire fights the wind. They almost had each other once, before when Hollander saved Rozanov's life, before a heartfelt gift was left unattended to, before an apology that felt like a slap in the face.

   Years into the war, when a third-party kill team tries to erase them both, Hollander and Rozanov are forced into the only alliance either of them can trust.
