Diplomat's Heir

When planets collide, who pulls the strings? Acting Ambassador Anwyn Owens came to Erran to broker peace. Instead, she's watching a world tear itself apart—literally. Volcanic eruptions threaten the capital. Rogue military units hunt anyone who knows too much. Somewhere in the chaos, an ancient puppet master is orchestrating the final act of a centuries-old war. The enemy should be clear: the Malvore, whose fleets have terrorized the galaxy for generations. But when one of Anwyn's team vanishes into the heart of enemy territory, disturbing patterns emerge. When her team splits across enemy lines and a kidnapping goes wrong, Anwyn stumbles onto a truth that could end the bloodshed—or ignite a conflagration that consumes multiple star systems. Every rescue attempt reveals another layer of deception. Every diplomatic meeting hides another agenda. And at the heart of it all, an ancient power watches and waits. With battle fleets converging and cities drowning in lava, Anwyn must navigate a labyrinth of lies that goes deeper than anyone imagined. The ground is shifting—politically and literally. Old enemies might be pawns. Ancient allies might be the real threat. And the truth might be more dangerous than the war itself. The ancient puppet masters are beginning to realize that they might have taken things too far. But can Anwyn unravel centuries of deception before the system burns? Or will the puppet masters claim two more worlds for their collection? The lava is rising. The fleets are closing in. Someone has been playing this game for centuries—will Anwyn rewrite the rules, or will she discover that it might be too late for everyone, even the entity that started this war centuries ago? Pick up this exciting series finale to find out. Pick up this exciting series finale to find out. LJ Dix
