Tenacity - Paperback

This is what the Black Blades spent their lives fighting for.

Their people have learned what hope tastes like. Humanity has finally recognized them as more than just beasts to be discarded, and they're winning. With millions of grauori pouring down from the mountains, nothing can stand in their way. Once little more than a unit of soldiers, the Black Blades have become the saviors of their entire species.

It's all because of Salryc Luxx. The last Kaisae of the Iliri, chosen only because the Emperor slaughtered the rest of her kind, she has nothing left to lose - or so she thought - but the Emperor is done playing games. He knows who she is, and he's not ready to give up. He's determined to make her pay.

In her darkest hour, Sal's past will come back to haunt her, the Blades will pull together, and borders become unimportant. Survival will require the one thing the Kaisae of all Iliri has perfected: refusing to give up.
