Demon in White

by Christopher Ruocchio · The Sun Eater series

Hadrian is conscripted into the Legions and sent to fight the alien Cielcin, where first contact becomes prolonged, brutal war. Ruocchio's second volume darkens — the enemy is more complex than propaganda claimed, and Hadrian's legend begins to separate from the man.
