Our favorite hot mess leaders are back with bigger problems impacting entire empires. New Lassa has finally settled into galactic trade under Chardon's leadership. Everything was going great until representatives from four planets arrive unannounced, begging for help. His former mate, Sestis, acquired Regency over their system before her untimely death. Now the responsibility lands on him. He barely rules New Lassa. Taking on a whole solar system is asking a bit much.

Until the alien empire hits their home world. If a galactic war breaks out, each race in the five solar systems will have to unite and fend off this new threat.
