The bloodright trilogy

Separated for the first time and in full command of their respective forces, the time has finally come for Gal and Ettian to confront what they owe their empires, their friends, and each other if they are ever to forge a universe where the two of them can be together.

When Gal is captured by the rebellion and facing execution, his handsome roommate Ettian is forced to reveal he is the secret heir to the Archon Empire and therefore leader of the rebellion, and now Gal's enemy. Gal devises a plot to escape and get back to the Umber Empire, no matter the cost, even if it means destroying Ettian.
