Earth. The last refuge in the solar system. Final battleground.

The Fifth Planet book three.

The world-shattering climax of the Fifth Planet trilogy.

On the Third Planet, the Great War has begun, and the ancient Hindu Kingdom of Karakhor faces its darkest hour under a Maghalla siege. The insanity of the Fifth Planet's arms race has exploded in catastrophe.

For Kananda and Maryam, Earth is far from a refuge—it's a blood-soaked battleground of gladiatorial combat and clashing warships. A place where Kananda will face his final challenge against Sandar the Merciless, dread king of Maghalla.

A place where triumph could turn to bitterness and grief as they realize—too late—that their lovers, Sela and Raven, are bitter enemies.
