As Cassy and her Clan celebrate their freedom and the Empire's defeat, Ethan—AKA Dark Ryder—receives a message from his secret masters that forces him to choose between his own life and the fate of the Clan. Meanwhile, as their enemies loom in the shadows, unseen, a new threat arrives from far to the west—the Empire's master launches a new proxy war against the Confederation.
It's a shadow war that threatens to boil over into a direct conflict, one the wounded Alliance can scarcely face, much less win. As divisions between allies grow hotter, threatening to tear them apart, Cassy hatches a daring plot to unite the Confederation and deal a fatal blow to the Empire and its master.
But will a chance at victory be worth the price they all must pay to achieve it?

I am an old lady so my opinion is probably a little off the mark, but I needed more punctuation. Had to back up and re-read some. I liked the characters, especially those of the clan, but there were so many story lines I wanted to skip forward through some. It did come together and left me happy.
I've read every book in this series and find them highly entertaining. The characters are well defined and the story line is consistent. I would recommend this series to everyone. In this book I did find a few errors. One in particular where Jaz and Chooney seek refuge in a one story house; but climb stairs to find a bed, really. Still a very good read.
Another action packed installment, though, the enemy was always seen from the defenders point of view. Some of the dialogue tended to run on a bit. It seems like there is more unresolved story so possibly another in the series will be produced.
This is the best serial series with great detail and fantastic characters anyone can relate to. The storyline is very plausible which keeps you reading.
