Beyond the Point of No Return.

An unprecedented act of political persecution to rid himself of rivals. A bloody massacre to show would-be insurrectionists the consequences of turning against the state. Consul Minister Jakaan will stop at nothing to preserve his consulship and hold on to power.

But there are two things the consul minister can’t control: the mysterious intelligence behind the strange artifact known as the Object, and Jeryn Lorsi and his friends, who resolve to rid the Great Arm of Jakaan’s tyranny…

…by any means necessary.

The final chapter in D.L. Young’s galaxy-spanning Empire and Ashes saga!
