A son's quest. A mother's fight. A father's descent.
Grey Soleis ended the war by crossing every line the Ascendancy claimed to uphold. He disobeyed orders. He went rogue. He even attempted to destroy an entire world?because he believed the alternative was worse.
Now the fighting is ending. And the Ascendancy wants its greatest war hero arrested.
When Grey vanishes without a trace, his son Roth faces an impossible choice: remain loyal to the military that raised him, or desert everything he knows to find his father?and face execution if he's caught.
As insurrection spreads across their homeworld, Alora fights to hold Telam and her family together before the Ascendancy rewrites Grey's legend into a warning.
And with every story Roth uncovers, he is forced to confront the question no monument can answer:
Was Grey Soleis ever truly a hero?or only the criminal they needed him to become?
Breaking Colossus is a character-driven political space opera of legacy, loyalty, family, and the stories empires tell to justify power.
