Pirates of the Imperium

A novel of rebellion, genocide, and the search for ultimate power

A decorated Imperial scout captain witnesses genocide — and becomes a pirate.

Seraphine DeVere has dedicated her life to serving the Imperium.
But when she uncovers the extermination of an entire civilization, her faith in the government she serves is shattered.

Hunted by Imperial forces and driven by rage, grief, and moral outrage, Seraphine abandons her commission and wages a private war against the Imperium itself. As she gathers allies among outlaws and dissidents, she pursues rumors of an ultimate weapon — one powerful enough to challenge the empire that betrayed her.

But every weapon has a cost.

And every choice Seraphine makes pushes her further from the woman she once was.
