In the ashes of a fallen empire, one man carries the shadow of a thousand betrayals.
The Supreme Imperium is no more. In its place rises the Supremacium-a cabal of zealots and conspirators who have erased history, silenced the old guard, and chained the Verge Galaxies under their tribute laws. Regent Thadeus Galantine, master of the Galactic Pantheon, rules with a hand as heavy as the void.
Galek Kane Thaeron, once Lord Marshall of the First Fleet and heir of a noble house, has been cast down as a traitor. For ten Tetherhadron Cycles he has rotted in the prison-world of Perilion Prime, stripped of title, honor, and hope. But Kane's fall was no accident-it was a purge, meant to bury the truth of a murdered Emperor, a lost heir, and the vanishing of the Imperial Memorium itself.
Now, with the aid of a cunning spy and a haunted psionic pilot, Kane escapes into the storm of rebellion. On the edges of the Verge he must forge unlikely alliances, uncover forbidden archives, and confront the mysteries the Supremacium has tried to erase.
The fate of the galaxy trembles between shadow and flame-and Kane must decide whether he fights to restore the Imperium, or to forge something greater from its ruins.
Shadow of Imperium begins the War-Giver Trilogy, a saga of betrayal, rebellion, and the last stand of empires.
