A sentient warship built for destruction. A crew searching for redemption. A mission that could ignite a new galactic war.
After the horrors of genocide, the warship Trouble Dog abandons her past and joins the House of Reclamation, rescuing ships lost among the stars. But when a civilian vessel disappears in a contested system, her crew of outcasts is drawn into a rescue that’s anything but routine.
Across the galaxy, a secretive poet holds the key to a conflict that could consume entire worlds. To save her crew, Trouble Dog must confront the violence she was created for—and decide what kind of being she wants to be.
Gareth L. Powell’s Embers of War is a thrilling, emotional space opera of redemption, rebellion, and survival.
