Rising From the Galaxy

Forced to face the reality of the corruption overtaking the galaxy, The Soldier sheds his true purpose in order to join the Rising. There's only one problem. He's forced to work with an old flame who broke his heart cycles ago.
Rising operative Rin is pushed to her limits as the fast-approaching war becomes a reality and her rightful place is demanded of her. Fighting not only for the good of the galaxy but against her attraction to the young man she's forced to partner with, Rin must make difficult choices between her heart and her duty.
Across the Black, Talie and Renner fight to win over the Outlier Rim to the Rising's side while Leef and Merritt face a great unknown that lies behind a deadly space storm in hopes of finding aid.
With King Praxin's armies reaching into every aspect of the galaxy, the Rising is quickly running out of time as they fight to replace corrupt leaders on the high council. Will their numbers be a match for the bot army and military presence spreading like space dust to every corner? And can they find the help they need in unlikely allies? Or will the galaxy descend into chaos and corruption at the hands of an evil dictator?
