Synopsis
The Secession War has begun. A hundred Rim worlds have broken free of the Human Republic’s tyranny. Now they must fight to keep their newfound freedom. The Republic Senate will never tolerate rebellion. An invasion fleet is gathering—vast enough to crush every secessionist world. But to reach the Rim, it must stretch out its supply lines across the stars. This weakness is the rebels’ only hope. Captain Caleb Hawthorne and a handful of warships stand against the Republic Navy’s might. Outnumbered and outgunned, they must strike fast and strike hard, or face annihilation when the fleet reaches their homes. Meanwhile, deep in the Core, Rebecca Guzman risks everything to uncover the Republic’s darkest secrets. What she finds could alter the course of the war—and shake the Republic to its very heart. Fires of Freedom is the explosive second novel of the Secession War series, where the rebellion burns brighter—and the cost of liberty grows ever higher.
