Nyzoura’s Pendant
Inheritance of the Fallen
Book 2
One lost relic. Ten thousand years of secrets.
Lieutenant Commander Kaia Marinoch is a weapon without a target. Grounded on the backwater planet of Tol’shi while her ship undergoes extensive repairs, the elite V.I.P.E.R. Operative is drowning in desk work and doubt. Her faith in the Initiative is fading, until a Commonwealth agent vanishes along with a high-value relic known as Nyzoura’s Pendant.
Tasked with a simple recovery, the investigation turns bloody as Kaia stumbles into the beginnings of a war between Jiuda Conclaves. With the bodies piling up, and growing suspicions of Imperial involvement, Kaia is forced to choose between following the chain of command and pursuing her mission.
Haunted by a near-fatal mission in Driri and the daunting burden of the Immortal Emperor, Kaia must regain her faith. As warring factions clash and an ancient, terrifying power stirs in the void, she discovers that her quest is not just about a trinket—it’s about the fate of the galaxy.
