The woman who became a gladiatrix. The gladiatrix who became an empress. An empress who defied her emperor.

Jegra Alakandra was adapting to her new life as ruler of a galactic empire when her husband, the enigmatic Lord Emperor Rhadamanthus Dakroth, suddenly went missing. Now, discovering he has been abducted by sinister space-pirates, she must mount a daring rescue mission to save him.

Things aren't as easy as they seem, however, when she discovers that she's walked into a deadly trap set by the blood-thirsty assassin, Ishtar Bantu. Hell-bent on seeking revenge for the humiliation she was dealt by the empress, Ishtar will stop at nothing to destroy everything and everyone Jegra holds dear.

If things weren't bad enough, Jegra's shuttle is shot down over a hostile prison world. Marooned with no way off, the sands of time are running thin and Jegra must find a way to escape the deadly world and warn her friends of Ishtar's treacherous plot before it's too late.
