    Summary

    Hounds are useful tools, certainly. Devastating weapons turned against their former comrades. But what happens when, inevitably, even the finest sword breaks?

    Abandoned by her Handler and cast to the side by the empire that broke her, rebel hero-turned-Hound-turned-stray Alida Chondax finds herself far away from the war that once ruled her life. In a quiet, rural region of her homeworld, where neither rebel nor Imperial bothers to go, she is taken in by the kindness of strangers, and a once-loyal Hound is left to finally heal. But can a dog of war so broken ever truly recover?

    Meanwhile, her old friend, Jaxie Thornth, finds herself in the place Alida once held, the new prize possession of her Handler. But war is a cruel mistress, and Death looms fickly around every corner. Nobody - neither stern veteran nor most ironclad officer - is immune to its vagaries.

    What happens to a Hound when its master dies?

    Summary

    Nina Kreis was a hero to the people of Dugal-III, thought three years dead. There are fates far worse than this, however.

    When the wreckage of the person who was once Nina Kreis is recovered during a DoJ/HR operation, those who are caught up in the ensuing maelstrom must respond to what has become of her.

    Nina Kreis is a broken woman, who barely remembers who she was, or who she was meant to be. She must claw back the shreds of herself, no matter how agonizing the process. One question hangs over her head, though: Will she ever be the same person as before?

    Major Selene Winfield, a veteran of many wars of liberation, is forced to behold an atrocity that is new to even her. Her search for answers brings her to the depths of obsession, threatening to make what should have been a professional matter personal.

    Imogen Langley, the partner of Nina Kreis and once-thought widow, must reckon with the fact that the woman she loved is so very different from the shell that came back. Caught between wanting to help her one love and the urge to collapse in upon herself, she must summon an inner strength she isn't sure she is capable of.

    Summary

    Sartha Thrace, ace mech pilot, is always so confused. She's a rebel, so why is she fighting on the wrong side? She's a free woman, so why is she wearing a muzzle? She's a hero, so why do her comrades treat her like a rabid dog? Sartha Thrace is so fortunate that her beloved Handler is always there to help her understand
