Book Description
Julian Davion—Prince’s Champion of the Federated Suns—is a warrior who has lost his way. Amidst political turmoil and the shifting fortunes of war, he struggles to find his destiny. Julian’s First Davion Guards have restored order on Terra. The Republic is closing its borders, keeping its core intact while leaving farther-flung worlds to fend for themselves. But The Republic is not only being attacked from without—it’s being undermined from within, and the hunt for seditionists continues. Ex-Knight and now-Senator Conner Rhys-Monroe still leads the fight to destroy The Republic from the inside. He is expertly opposed by Countess Tara Campbell, leader of the Highlanders and The Republic’s best hope on the outside. Terra lies at the center of their titanic tug-of-war, where Julian struggles to keep his footing in a situation shifting like blood-drenched quicksand.

Book Description
Skye struggles to rise from the ashes of the last Jade Falcon assault. Tara Campbell’s Highlanders are limping back from battles fought all across the Prefecture. And Anastasia Kerensky’s Steel Wolves have disappeared again. It’s a matter of when—not if—the Falcons will renew their brutal assault, and Skye is unprepared. . . . On the world of Nusakan, Landgrave Jasek Kelswa-Steiner appears to be Skye’s only chance for salvation. Gathering his Stormhammers, he prepares to throw his force into the teeth of the Falcon advance. But will the cure be worse than the disease? Jasek passionately advocates a return to House Steiner, a political movement his father just as passionately opposes. Unfortunately for the Republic, desperate times call for desperate alliances—and the Jade Falcon force is still spoiling for battle. Clan Jade Falcon will not rest until Skye is conquered . . . or reduced to a charred cinder.

Book Description
Between the Republic of the Sphere and the Draconis Combine stands the military unit known as the Dragon’s Fury. Claiming worlds in the name of the Combine without House Kurita’s support and threatening the entire Inner Sphere, the Fury pursue their leader’s agenda with fanatical devotion… Katana Tormark bears the burden of disgrace. A traitor’s actions against her father discredited her family. Now, to regain the respect the Tormark clan deserves, she openly challenges the Coordinator’s policy of non-aggression with The Republic, hoping to push House Kurita into a conflict—a conflict the Coordinator apparently doesn’t want. Warlord Mitsura Sakamoto believes Katana is making House Kurita look weak, and is determined to turn the situation to his advantage. For he has his own designs on ruling the Combine, and he’s not going to let the daughter of a dishonored samurai stand in his way…

Book Description
Sea Fox Clansmen are space-bound, nomadic warrior-merchants who live and die aboard their naval vessels, going planetside only to negotiate a new deal or for combat: often the same thing for a Fox. Divided into five autonomous Khanates, they are led by the Khan of all Clan Sea Fox. Their mission: to make deals and acquire the revenue needed to expand Sea Fox’s honor, glory, and power. . . . For more than a decade, ovKhan Sha Clarke has watched his Spina Khanate achieve greater wealth and fame than any other. A quiet passion drives the MechWarrior to free Spina Khanate from the shackles of Clan Sea Fox—no matter the cost. . . . A MechWarrior fiercely loyal to Clan Sea Fox, ovKhan Petr Kalasa knows that Sha is plotting rebellion, but even he cannot guess the lengths to which Sha will go to achieve victory. In his attempt to stop his rival, he baits Sha into a one-on-one duel. The result is a disaster that vividly demonstrates how much Petr will have to sacrifice to put an end to Sha’s machinations. Yet his suspicions of Sha will not let him rest. He has lost one battle, but—as The Clan is his witness—he will not lose the war. . . .

Book Description
As a reward for her loyalty and cunning, Katana Tormak has been granted the rank of Warlord of Dieron—a somewhat dubious position of honor. For even as she is given her new title, she is also given a nearly impossible task to prove her worth—a task that may usher in a new era of interplanetary chaos... Barely three generations ago, the Draconis Combine ceded control of dozens of planets to The Republic. But now, after Exarch Jonah Levin removes his protection, these same planets are left to fend for themselves. Some go on as if nothing has changed, while others find themselves used as pawns in a deadly game of territorial sovereignty. These are the planets Katana must take over if she is to reestablish the historic Dieron Military District. If she can manage this with minimal resources and the very subtle support of the coordinator, then she will become a full-fledged warlord of House Kurita. But Katana's enemies see the ensuing confusion as a chance to destroy her once and for all...

Book Description
Ever since their defeat in the Great Refusal decades ago, and all through their partial demilitarization when faced with Devlin Stone’s Republic of the Sphere, the Clans have sought their place in the universe. Now, one Clansman has found her vision, and will make a bid for power that will shake the very foundations of the Inner Sphere... Jade Falcon Galaxy Commander Malvina Hazen and her warriors are encamped on the planet Skye in their Occupation Zone, overseeing the consolidation of power on the worlds they've wrested from The Republic. When a ship appears at Skye's jump point and its commander declares a Trial of Possession for the wartime doctrine he claims Malvina stole from Clan Hell's Horses, Malvina sees her vision unfolding: she agrees to single BattleMech combat. Malvina emerges from the fray victorious—and inspired to ride her growing reputation into Clan Jade Falcon’s halls of power. But her bold actions may herald the beginning of a civil war that could unmake not simply her own Clan, but the entire Clan way of life...
