The Last Emperox

Can they escape the end of an empire? The pathways that link the stars are collapsing faster than expected, accelerating the fall of civilization. But though the evidence is insurmountable, many are still in denial. Some even attempt to profit from the final days of this golden age. Emperox Grayland II has wrested control of the empire from her enemies. However, even as she works to save her people, others seek to topple her from the throne. Grayland and her remaining allies must use every tool at their disposal to save humanity, and themselves - yet it still may not be enough. Will Grayland achieve the impossible . . . or become the last emperox to wear the crown?
