The Deadly Discord (Origin Story #5)

He never thought it would come to this.

Rance and team may have overdone it when they captured Bailiff Daughtry. It was easy enough to rid the Empire of another conspirator—why not round up the rest? But if they assumed what came next would only be triumph, they were in for a big surprise.

All seems well at first. They’re heralded by the Empire as heroes and their fame returns. It doesn’t last. Rance’s father shows up with a serious warning for the gang—leave the conspiracy alone or face deadly consequences. Everyone is worried, except for Rance. He has never been closer to achieving his big dream. He won’t stop just because his father asks him to.

Then the unthinkable happens, and it turns Rance’s entire universe upside-down. Will he be able to move forward now? And what about his plans to help his friends?

Because of his reckless attitude, Rance will face the hardest decision he’s ever had to make—save the Empire…or his friends.
