Fallen Empire: A Military Science Fiction Epic Adventure (Born of Ash Book 1)

After years of war, the First Galactic Empire has collapsed. The Eternal Emperor is dead, star systems are devastated, and trillions have perished. Rather than entering a new golden age, humanity descends into darkness. Eighteen years later, on the wrecked planet Asherho, Keira Kane survives in a hostile world. The climate has become increasingly inhospitable, and the brutal government prioritizes power over feeding its few million remaining inhabitants. Raised and trained by former Imperial Marines as a mechanic and technician, Keira's skills are vital to maintaining her dying planet's failing infrastructure. During a routine repair assignment at Hakagi Tower, Keira becomes a fugitive. She is hunted by the government she served, the planetary militia with their own agenda, and a mysterious battle-damaged warship that has arrived in-system. Unknown to Keira, her Imperial Marine companions have been protecting a secret with the potential to either save humanity or extinguish it from the galaxy. Caught in a planetary uprising and pursued, Keira is forced into a life-or-death struggle. She faces a dangerous path that may be uniquely hers to walk. The question remains whether she possesses the courage and willpower to answer the call before her.
