As a result of the unsettled conditions following the death of the Duke of Hepplewhite, Admiral Willard Krause and industrialist
Carlo Roma force Frank Nyman from his
position over Montora – a mountain principality on the planet
Hepplewhite. Krause orders Frank’s son Franklin to be released from
the Merchants and Manufacturers League Space Navy to become the new
Margrave of Montora.
Franklin is left with the ducal castle burned, and the castle in Montora village partially destroyed. The people of the planet now look to him to rescue the governor and repair the damage. At this point, a destroyer, donated by Admiral Krause for system defense arrives. Franklin equips the starship and builds a crew so he can rescue the governor.
Further complicating Franklin’s life is his growing attraction to Signe Foxworth, the governor’s daughter, and his tempestuous relationship with Daphne Locke, his second in command.
To add pressure, several of the people around Franklin are converted and receive Christ. He attempts to balance his responsibilities with a growing conviction that his life needs something more. Ultimately events bring Franklin face to face with his mortality, and especially the mortality of his friends. He stands at the edge of eternity and must make the toughest decisions of his life.
This is the second book in The Chronicles of Montora series.
