Honor Betrayed!

Trapped at the core of a political crisis she never sought and betrayed by an old and vicious enemy she'd thought vanquished forever, Honor Harington stands alone. Now, she must fight for justice in a private war that offers just two choices: death . . . or a “victory” that can end only in dishonor and the loss of all she loves. The fourth entry in the legendary Honor Harrington series, in a signed, limited leatherboud edition.
