"You are put in a corner and you have to get out. I have to believe that you can always get out." --Etgar Keret The Centurions are going home. For Jiden Armstrong and the others who have fought to assemble a fleet capable of liberating their planet and rescuing their refugees, this has been a tremendous effort. It has cost the lives of hundreds and Jiden has tackled one impossible task after the next, so that her people, her family, can return to the world of her birth. Except, this is only the beginning. In defying the Guard, the Centurions have made themselves the target for the most powerful forces in human space. The UN Star Guard will throw spies, saboteurs, and even entire fleets at them if it means stopping them. Because if a group of mercenaries from one tiny planet can thumb their noses at the Guard, then anyone can and that could spell the beginning of the end for them. The Guard are willing to fire on the civilian refugee ships if that's what it takes. Valor will have to safeguard the exodus of Jiden's people, all the way back to their homeworld.
