Holdfast Imperium

The Empire of the Star Continent is ruptured.On one side are the Holdfasts, a family that has already saved the world more than once; but also a family that includes mass-murderers, war criminals, and the vain, disobedient, and ambitious.On the other side is the imperial army - the only armed force on the Star Continent, and one guided by Daimon - a young Dream Mage with a grudge.Adopted into the ranks of Daphne's family, Thorn of Greyfalls Deepen has finally achieved her goal - now all she has to do is unite the Holdfasts, or risk being the shortest-lived ruler the Star Continent has ever seen.Without any wars to fight, Corthie Holdfast faces a different battle - against the demons in his own mind. Striving to live a peaceful life with Aila and his young family, Corthie's resolve will be put to the test. If he fails to resist the lure of violence that calls out to him, not only will his family be under threat, but the safety of his entire world.
