Vulpes - Robin D.M. Potter

Book Three in the Operation Dreadnaught Series.

Major leads a battle-hardened squad through a newly discovered tunnel into the South. The mission is simple on paper. Link up with lost allies and stop a genocide before the South is dragged into war again.

Then one of their own is taken.

Major does what he always does. He goes after him.

The rescue drags B Troop deep into enemy ground and straight into the machinery that keeps the Council of Cities in power. Cities are abandoned. Camps are hidden in the desert. Cages are filled with the broken and the forgotten. The Council does not just wage war, it breeds it. And when the truth comes out, there is no clean way to walk away.

In the frozen North, a new king lies wounded and his kingdom is still bleeding from the failed coup. The Elders are imprisoned and their power is broken, but the damage is done. Kjartan leaves the army in command and takes a small group west, hunting the uncle who betrayed them, chasing answers towards a barren coast and an enemy they do not understand.

Meanwhile the South is coming apart. The desert tribes move. The Council tightens its grip. New armies rise and old alliances shift. The world is splitting on two fronts, and nobody gets to sit out what comes next.

Two fronts. One world on the brink.

And the fight for survival is far from over.

A Nation In Chains. A Warrior In Peril.
