In the thrilling conclusion to The Mara Files, disgraced former Star Corps captain Mara Keres faces her ultimate challenge: stopping the woman who betrayed her and threatens to tear the galaxy apart.
With an unstoppable army and control of strategic hyperspace routes, the High Irrini Kottura stands on the brink of conquering the galaxy. As systems fall and hope fades, Mara must assemble an unlikely team: a brilliant but troubled Anguin, a powerful but enigmatic Kiramalu, and others with complex motives for one final desperate mission.
But to defeat Kottura, Mara will have to face her haunted past, grapple with impossible choices, and decide what price she's willing to pay for victory. In a war where personal vendettas and galactic politics intertwine, can Mara find a way to save the galaxy and those she's come to care about?
With pulse-pounding action, complex characters, and high emotional stakes, Mara's Reckoning delivers a satisfying conclusion to this space opera series.
