The Guns of Empire (The Shadow Campaigns, Band 4)

As Django Wexler continues his “exceptional military fantasy”* Shadow Campaigns series, the smoke of battle has cleared, and a fragile peace is offered...but at what price?

After their shattering defeats at the hands of General Janus bet Vhalnich, the opposing powers have called all sides to the negotiating table. Queen Raesinia of Vordan is eager to see an end to war, but Janus insists that any peace with the Sworn Church of Elysium is doomed to fail. For their Priests of the Black, there can be no truce with the heretics  and demons they seek to destroy.
 
Soldiers Marcus d’Ivoire and Winter Ihernglass find themselves caught between their general and their queen. Now they must decide which leader truly commands their loyalty—and what price they might pay for final victory. And in the depths of Elysium, a malign force is rising—and defeating it might mean making sacrifices beyond anything they have ever imagined.
