Former war hero Mara Keres thought prison was her final destination.
When a daring escape puts her back in the stars, she discovers her old friend Kottura, now the High Irrini, threatens to plunge the entire system into war. Accompanied by Ishali, an enigmatic Anguin, and Ardent, a mysterious warrior, Mara seeks refuge on the edges of known space. But her past refuses to let her hide.
As the Council falls and war erupts across the stars, Mara faces an impossible choice: continue running from her past or join a desperate resistance movement to stop the woman she once called friend. With intrigue and betrayal at every turn, she'll need more than her combat skills to survive.
What do you do when the person you trusted most becomes the galaxy's greatest threat? And how do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved?
Mara's Choice is a gripping tale of loyalty, redemption, and the price of power. In a galaxy tearing itself apart, the hardest choice is choosing to fight at all.
