Survival is everything.
The fleet orbiting Ashia has not come to negotiate. They have come for conquest.
The primitive weaponry of the Ashia people is no match for the onslaught of an intergalactic adversary during the initial invasion. When fighting an unwinnable war against the invader seeking to crush their existing way of life, Shanda Vanaad decides to lead her people to the end and make them bleed for every advance.
When his leaders charge Commander Gray Radman with taking the planet of Ashia but place restrictions on his tactics, he tries to keep his forces alive in a hostile land while fighting the unrealistic expectations of an empire accustomed to victory.
Soon, the struggle descends into a savage slugfest across Ashia. But on the brutal battlefields of a planet fighting for survival, can there be a winner?
Ashia: The Rebels and the Conquerors is the third novel taking place on a dark world within the Star Runners Universe's unfolding events.
