Hadrian Marlowe will be remembered as both savior and executioner—the man who annihilated humanity’s greatest enemy, and the monster who destroyed a sun. But the truth is far stranger.

His choices echo far beyond palace walls, dragging him into a war he never asked to fight.

And in the end, who will the galaxy remember?
