Among the Blue
Sent to the Chiss Ascendancy as Thrawn’s liaison, Eli Vanto discovers that joining the CEDF means far more than simply changing uniforms. Quarantined, retrained, renamed and gradually absorbed into a culture that values discipline, precision and belonging above individuality, he must learn how to survive inside a system that is never quite sure what to make of him. Along the way, Commander Stent and Irizi officer Zisera become his reluctant guides through Chiss language, politics and bureaucracy—and help him discover how much freedom can still exist inside the rules.
