In times of chaos, there are those who fight for money, for power, or just to survive. In feudal Japan, they were Ronin. In the post US Civil War, they were desperadoes or hired guns. In the chaotic times of the collapse of human civilization, they are men, women, and aliens without shelter or succor. When no one else will take a stand, they stand for themselves. They are deserters, murderers, pirates, and worse… they are the Renegades.

In the process, he has become the leader of a new nation and the commander of a powerful fleet.  However, victory comes with consequences.  Without an imminent threat, old feuds have sparked back to life and tenuous alliances falter.  There are also old enemies who cannot forget that Lucius has what they want.  He must find a way to hold off scheming rivals, sociopathic psychics, and even former friends.  If he can’t do all that and take the fight to humanity’s true enemies, billions may die under alien servitude.

The Tyrant's time has come. Winter has come to the Five Duchies, a time of bitter cold when noblemen scheme and commoners wonder how to feed themselves through the long, dark months. In the far north, the Warlord Tarjak Rusk stirs his forces, guided by the wizard Xavien, Herald to the dark spirit Andoral Elhonas. Xavien knows that the time has come when the Five Duchies are vulnerable... and with the might of his master behind him, Xavien could conquer the civilized lands as an undisputed tyrant. In the Duchy of Masov, Duke Hector the Usurper faces a civil war, brought on by the survival of Lady Katarina. If he doesn't squash this rebellion with the coming spring, he'll face a war on two fronts. Yet even if he wins victory, it will be a hard fought one against his own people, leaving scars that might never heal or even shattering the Duchy into splinters. The fate of the Five Duchies might well be decided in Masov, but if Hector and Katarina cannot resolve their differences, then they'll only be the first to fall to the raiders from the north. Only if they can unite against him can they seal the fate of the tyrant.
