The Chronicles of First Guard Vol. 1 Out of the Ashes of Hope

Save the Queen!

A galaxy in near ruins at the end of a civil war. An empire on the run. Their queen trapped behind enemy lines, stranded on the other side of the galaxy.

First Guard has protected the monarchy for hundreds of years. Colonel Matthew Navarre leads a team of genetically enhanced soldiers called Alpha Squad who are tasked with the protection of the crown.

The Confederacy will stop at nothing to apprehend or eliminate the queen and her family. If the empire is to survive, Navarre and Alpha Squad must find a way to get the queen, and her children home safely.

At home, Fleet Admiral Hawkins is working hard, trying to find a way to stabilize the new government and protect the crown from rivals in the absence of the queen.

Meanwhile First Guard General Tanaka is taking every risk and devoting every resource at his disposal to find the queen and his people before the Confederates get their hands on them.

The war is winding down, but tensions between the factions are still high, and anyone caught behind enemy lines is being imprisoned or killed. There is a long and dangerous road between the last Imperial remnants and home.

But an ancient prophesy may have already decided their fates. Even if they do make it, with what’s coming their way, nothing will ever be the same again, not them and not the galaxy. Everything will change.
