The Sun is Gray

Ash gray smoke fills the air with loud explosions of bombs everywhere, and lets just say it’s not what Aleksander DePru has imagined his sixteen year old life to be like. 
Aside from the world in a war, Alek has still been haunted by the way his father has died and left him to lead the army for America. 
With everything at stake, Alek and his best friend and co-commander Cyra Angelique, are sent on a doomed mission by the Emperor to form an alliance for America and capture a girl back. 
As they fly to another planet, questions and fate loom in their heads. But things get more interesting when the Russians enter the picture, and a dangerous game of acting lies in their futures. 
But worse, a plot from the past will threaten everything and so Alek must do everything in his power to guarantee his family will be safe and so will be his life. 
When secrets unravel, Alek and Cyra have to create a new plan. A plan that considers the past, will create a good future, and will question their loyalty, duty, and responsibility to the throne. 
Will this mission succeed? Or will it end like how it’s destined to end; in failure? With choices every step of the way, taking one false step will lead Alek and his team to a place of no return.
