Ashes of Empire

When the Telluris Imperium collapsed in the flames of betrayal, only one thing remained: a broken prince named Adler Vinculum Magnus Telluris. From the ruins of Tellus, he declared himself Emperor. Not upon a throne of gold, but within the dying carcass of a warship, surrounded by an alien galaxy filled with secrets. Behind him, the embers of resistance smoldered across distant worlds. Before him, an incomprehensible darkness waited in silence. At his side stood two women who refused to abandon him: One who had been with him since childhood. One who was willing to kill to protect him. Amid the wreckage of a fallen empire, ancient galactic secrets, and wars that were never clean, the warmth they shared became the last light they still possessed. A light that may one day fade. Warmth Misplaced Among Iron is a grimdark space opera about the collapse of an empire, the cost of revolution, the betrayal of rulers, and a love born within oceans of iron and ash.
