"e;Sedition doesn't follow the rules; mutiny doesn't log flight paths."e; One ship returns to the Fleet, its crew absent and presumed dead. Within the ghost ship lies a riddle with no discernible answer: a naked synthetic, a corrupted ship computer, and an alien artifact. A politician wants it buried, but not everyone in the Admiralty agrees. The chain of command is linear—except the Warmasters—and one of them just made a decision. Vara will tear the galaxy apart to find her sister, Andrea, and she's not coming back until she knows what happened to the Demon and its crew.

Three years ago, Xilor's death ended the second Wizard's War, yet it gave rise to a tyrant, and Godfrey's will won't be denied. But the Krey aren't a nation to be shackled. Rage and rebellion are simmering at the boiling point. Starriace still searches for the brimstones, but her strange powers endanger her loved ones. And everyone faces new threats: the aging disease killing large swaths of the population, an ancient evil from the Underworld, and the machinations of the enigmatic Time Warden.The Jackal of Shades is the third installment in the Dark Legacy Series.
