Description
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson
Zeric Dustlighter never wanted command. A soldier his entire adult life, he knew how to follow orders, not give them. But trapped behind enemy lines with the fate of the Union in his hands, he must become the leader the revolution needs-or watch freedom die.
As the war between the Union and Alliance reaches its climax, battles rage across multiple star systems. Saracasi Ocaitchi fights to preserve the rebel fleet while her brother Maarkean endures brutal imprisonment. Diplomatic overtures from the mysterious Dotran Empire offer hope-or perhaps another trap. And somewhere within Zeric's own ranks, a traitor waits to strike.
From desperate guerrilla operations to massive fleet engagements, from torture chambers to diplomatic halls, Tree of Liberty explores the true cost of revolution. In war, victory demands sacrifices that forever change those who survive. Some prices, once paid, can never be refunded.
The award-winning Aristeia trilogy that began with Revolutionary Right and continued in A Little Rebellion concludes with a story of sacrifice, loyalty, and the burden of command that will leave you questioning the price of freedom itself.
