Star Seeker: Novels of the Third Colonial War: Betrayal on Brachensclaw, Book 5 (The second book in the Osmani Cycle)
 
     Behind enemy lines and cast adrift from Confederate support, the Ambassadors are trapped in an alien empire they do not understand. Together with their ursoid allies, they must risk it all for House Day Star.
     If they fail, the Brachensclaws will be stripped of their lands and titles, their house dissolved and every human strung up from the nearest tree as a warning to other enemies of the Osmani Empire.
