Synopsis

Iro has left the Home Fleet to join the Black Cloaks, who have promised him power and answers. Deep in the TITAN core, danger waits around every corner, and what he learns there raises a doubt he cannot easily set aside: he may never have been a Corsair.

Back at the Home Fleet, war has arrived. The new Squad Four Home are sent to the front line again and again. Emil fights for his friends and his ship, but he begins to suspect that Fleet Command is not trying to win.

The book follows both young men on separate paths. One is underground among strangers with their own agenda, the other is in the middle of a fleet at war.

A new threat is gathering in the depths of the TITAN core. Monsters are banding together, and every one of them wears a golden crown. Iro and Emil are about to find that some old enemies they thought dead are still very much alive.

This is book 4 of 6 in the TITAN Hoppers series, an epic science-fantasy adventure.
