Julien Armand knows what it means to lose everything.

A young man who watched the Great Terror strike through Eclairea, Julien stood powerless as revolutionaries executed his family and tore apart the world he once knew. The ideals of liberty and equality, which once promised hope, became a façade for envy and greed. The Republic that rose from the ashes of monarchy now trembles under its own weight, its leaders as corrupt and power-hungry as the nobles they overthrew.

Amidst this turmoil rises General Lucien Beaumont, a man of vision, ambition, and ruthless pragmatism. Once a mere soldier, Beaumont has swept across Eclairea, uniting fractured factions and promising to restore order to the Republic. To many, he is a savior, a self-declared Emperor who will bring stability to a land broken by revolution. To others, he is merely another tyrant cloaked in the rhetoric of liberty.

Set between Blade of the Betrayer and Wars of the Betrayer, Fusiliers of the Betrayer is a gripping tale of revolution, war, and forbidden love. Julien's journey through a crumbling Republic and into the resurgent Eclairean Empire pits him against his deepest fears, his darkest desires, and the seductive allure of Beaumont's vision for a new Eclairea. As the lines between savior and tyrant blur, Julien must choose between his duty, and his heart.
