Suns will rise
(Book)

Sequel to: Between burning worlds.

Three months after the Patriarche was beheaded, Laterre seems to be flourishing under General Bonnefa�con, but as dangerous rifts threaten the peace, Alouette, Marcellus, and Chatine reunite.

It's been three months since the Patriarche was beheaded, leaving behind no heir. From the outside, Laterre seems to be flourishing: General Bonnefa�con has cleaned up the streets, fed the hungry, and restored peace while the next leader is decided upon. But the Red Scar is killing anyone with a legitimate claim to the Regime, while the Vangarde and their freed leader are preparing to overthrow it. When it is revealed that the Patriarche had a child in secret, Alouette is interrogated on the whereabouts of this renegade grandson. Marcellus is unaware that he's being hunted by a determined new cyborg. And Chatine grows restless, living with a rebel group she doesn't fit into. Allegiances will shift, rebels will become leaders, and the tinderbox of Laterre will finally ignite.-- adapted from jacket
