The Father Unbound

They come from the sky in red battle armor. Peacekeepers. Chancellors. The ruling caste of humanity for three millennia. Seven-year-old Trayem Hadeed, like so many of his clan, reveres the Chancellors, who long ago led humanity to a great colonization of the galaxy. Yet when a mysterious Chancellor named Ephraim Hollander inflicts a great cruelty upon the boy, the resulting hatred buries itself deep within Hadeed's soul. As Hadeed nears manhood and dreams of how to end his people's servitude, Ephraim prepares not only for the end of his powerful, 3000-year-old bloodline, but possibly for the end of humanity itself. He is among a handful of Chancellors who know that this planet, Hiebimini - most valuable in Earth's 40-world Collectorate - is dying, and its secrets will have consequences for all humans. Devastating decisions made thousands of years ago now cast a horrifying burden upon the final fathers and sons of the most valued and reviled planet ever colonized.
