Scars of Rebellion

Shadow of War, Book 3

By: Anthony J. Melchiorri

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

He’ll defy the Overlords. He’ll risk the rebellion. To save one life, he might doom them all.

The forces of Rising Dawn are scattered across the stars. Someone has betrayed the rebellion. Surrounded by suspicion and deceit, Jace Hawthorne must decide who he can still trust, including their newest ally: an Eldra’kaarn warrior resurrected from the ruins of a long-dead alien civilization.

When Jace reunites with his brother and rebel leader, Connor Hawthorne, he receives a mission that will change everything. The Revenant must return to Jace’s home world to infiltrate a Lumina Dominion research facility—one conducting horrific experiments in service to the Overlords.

But buried within that fortress lies something far more personal than alien technology or military secrets. One whom Jace desperately hopes to save. His mother.

Haunted by loss and hunted by those he once trusted, Jace is about to discover that every victory demands a sacrifice. Sometimes the darkest enemy is the one you carry inside.
