Guard of the Outer Union
Coming Soon!
In a galaxy divided, there are no easy answers...
Nizhoni and Jonas gave up the past to join the Empyrean Guard, an elite Outer Union unit dedicated to protecting the freedom of all Terran sapients.
But their first mission ends in capture on enemy territory—an incident that could shatter a fragile peace. As war looms, every choice they make tests their loyalties, their ideals, and the family they have found among the Guard.
Welcome to the world of Guard of the Outer Union.
Meet the Empyrean Guard
A routine intelligence mission. A politically unstable world. And signs that something much larger is beginning...
