House of Blades

Some truths are buried for a reason. Some blades are never meant to be drawn. Forged as a weapon and gifted with Sight, Adran Eado has never questioned his purpose. As a Knight Eternal he has spent his life protecting the Imperium’s centuries-long peace and the ancient stellar Gates that hold it together. Now the Emperor has given him a mission that will force him to see what others cannot. Whispers are spreading. Ships vanish without trace. And the deeper Adran follows the threads, the more he realizes the empire he swore to defend may be built on a lie far more dangerous than anyone suspects. As fractures appear in the long peace, Adran must decide where his true loyalties lie: to the empire that shaped him, the blood that claims him, or the forbidden truths the Gates themselves seem determined to reveal. From USA Today bestselling author Joshua Dalzelle, creator of the Omega Force Series and Black Fleet Saga series, comes a gripping new space opera epic. For fans of Dune, Red Rising, and Empire of Silence.
