She was raised as a soldier. And as an heir to an empire . . .

General Zarrah is motivated by two truths: The Veliant family murdered her mother and that she will be the one to deliver vengeance.

The Endless War has devastated Zarrah's people. So when she's given command of the city at the center of the conflict, Zarrah vows to destroy the gathered forces and their Veliant prince leader.
