EMP

The lights have been out for months. The Kingdom of Austin has twenty-five thousand soldiers, a crowned king, and a gladiatorial arena. The Nation of Liberty has eight thousand fighters, limestone ridges, and the Ghost Soldier.

The math doesn't favor Lyle Gordon.

But Lyle Gordon has never cared much for math.

When Reynolds throws the Ghost Soldier into the arena to die for the Kingdom's entertainment, the crowd roars for blood. When the Nation of Liberty answers, the cost is catastrophic...and Myla Gordon finds herself deeper inside the Kingdom's iron grip than ever before, closer to Reynolds himself, playing the most dangerous game of her life.

While Lyle heals his wounds and races to fortify the Nation's last defenses, Reynolds builds his war machine to full strength. Twenty thousand soldiers. No prisoners. Total annihilation. The Nation of Liberty's eight thousand fighters stand between thirty-five thousand civilians and the most devastating assault the hill country has ever seen.

The defensive lines are drawn. The walls are built. The Ghost Soldier takes his position.

And somewhere three hundred miles north, a man named Thomas Reyes is galloping hard with twenty-four riders and the most audacious plan in the history of warfare.

Helm's Deep meets the Texas frontier.

The reckoning begins now.
