The fourth novel in the Kingdoms and Empires series takes place one year after the events of Kingdoms and Empires: Operation Dark Storm.

This installment presents three interconnected stories from the Kingdoms and Empires universe. Only months after the devastating war between the Utopian Kingdom, the Darkcon Empire, and the Federation, the Realm is held together by an uneasy ceasefire. In the first tale, a Federation detachment mysteriously goes silent, and lethal radiation begins to build near a populated Utopian world. In response, the Utopians and Darkcons must work together to uncover the cause and stop the growing radiation storm.

The second tale follows an ambitious scientist who manipulates all sides in a twisted pursuit of knowledge-threatening to reignite the war that had only just ended. The third tale is a "what if " scenario: What if Princess Asora had been removed from power before the Federation ever arrived? How would the Realm look in this alternate timeline?
