After years of battle, Kelsey Bandar and Jared Mertz are finally ready to face the master AI enslaving the Terran Empire. With just a bit of luck, this nightmare will finally be over.

Failure means extermination, invasion, and the loss of everyone they love. Can they beat the odds just one more time?

Princess Kelsey Bandar and Admiral Jared Mertz have beaten the savage Pale Ones only to fine even deadlier enemies working hard to undo everything they’ve accomplished.

Kelsey Bandar and Jared Mertz must retrieve the electronic override buried under the ruins of the old Imperial Palace to win the war against the AIs.

Marooned on ruined Terra, Kelsey Bandar and Jared Mertz must march to the Imperial Palace to recover the key to defeating the savage AIs that have enslaved humanity.

Even if she does get free, can she turn the situation around in her own universe before everything comes apart in their faces?

Or it could be because she’s working so hard she can’t enjoy the fruits of her labor, let alone find time to connect with her kid. There’s also the magic. Between the pre-teen drama and the bakery, she’s barely had time to come to grips with being a witch, forget about mastering her growing magical powers.

Cut off from home, Princess Kelsey Bandar needs a place to hide from the vengeful Rebel Empire.

Separated by more light years than either cares to think about, Princess Kelsey Bandar and Admiral Jared Mertz must reach Terra before the Rebel Empire figures out that they even exist.

The obstacles seem insurmountable, but they have no other option than victory. They truly are humanity’s last hope.

As Kelsey struggles to master the combat enhancements the Pale Ones forcibly implanted inside her and Jared works feverishly to resurrect an ancient battlecruiser, they discover the Pale Ones aren't as defeated as they seemed.
