Vicky Peterwald is no longer just the heir apparent to an imperial dynasty. She survived naval training and proved her mettle in combat to help the starving people of the ravaged world of St. Petersburg. Now, she is truly a Grand Duchess, leading a growing battle fleet in a rebellion against the tyranny of her stepmother, the Empress.

The Peterwald Empire is in the midst of civil war. On one side is the tyrannical Empress, on the other is the last person Kris ever wants to see again—Grand Duchess Vicky Peterwald. Due to their shared history, the Emperor believes Kris can mediate between the factions and bring about peace.

Is it Vicky, the Empress, or a traitor among her own people...

Kris Longknife ist in die Navy eingetreten, um aus dem Schatten ihrer mächtigen Familie zu treten. Ihre ersten Missionen sind nicht besonders aufregend.

Eines Tages findet sie heraus, dass die ranghöchsten Offiziere ihres Schiffs in eine Verschwörung verstrickt sind. Ihr bleibt nur eine Möglichkeit: Sie muss die Besatzung auf ihre Seite ziehen und eine Meuterei anzetteln ...

Admiral Kris Longknife should have known the job offer was too good. Really, she knew by now that what was too good to be true really, really isn't. Still, she jumped at the chance to be the first human emissary to the Iteeche Empire.

Only when she got there, and met the Emperor, a teenage kid swamped by his throne, did Kris find out that there was a little civil war going on in the Iteeche Empire. The loyal forces were losing, and they needed the best fighting admiral they could get. So they got Kris Longknife.
