In "Nikolai Dante, Part 5," the rogue Nikolai Dante faces execution—only to be offered a grim reprieve: a dangerous assignment with the Imperial Raven Corps. Sent on a mission with Tsarina Jena to investigate a crashed spaceship, he's thrust into a web of imperial intrigue when a dormant Romanov bio-weapon awakens within him, revealing a hidden lineage he never knew. Now hunted by the ruthless Aleksandr and Aledsandra Romanov, who seek to eliminate both him and Jena, Nikolai must survive long enough to uncover the truth behind his bloodline—before it's too late.
