…even if that means putting her in harms way.
After a fresh wave of attempts on Diana’s life, Petra decides it’s time for more drastic measures.

While they are away, Mains and Tenna set a trap for whoever is trying to kill Diana. When it finally springs they discover that their ruse has made things infinitely more dangerous for the empress.
Cut off on a distant world, Petra, Diana, and a few guards find themselves facing a far deadlier challenge than Petra had planned for. When all the chips are down, it’ll take everything the empress has to survive and see another day.
