Having escaped from the planet Sufugnoff, Lafiel now commands her own assault ship. As she deals with the pressures of leading her crew, Jinto tries to prove his worth to the empire as the ship's supply officer. Illustrations.

Around a decade has passed since the Fall of Lahkfacar, and the Empire is now split into two distinct regions. Crown Princess and fleet commander Lafier is tasked with the operation to annex the People’s Sovereign Stellar Union and reunite the Empire while at the same time facing supply shortages and crew inexperience — and she might need to flout orders to get it done.

A Modest War picks up right where the first novel, Princess of the Empire, left off. Which is a good thing since Princess of the Empire ended off with a cliffhanger: Jinto and Lafiel were being held captive by Baron Febdash, who captured them when their desperate escape from the United Mankind fleet brought them to his orbital palace hoping to obtain fuel and supplies. Princess Lafiel has decided to take matters into her own hands and has started a rebellion among the Baron's vassals.

Based on the author's science fiction novels, presents the story of a future universe where mankind has spread throughout the stars and war is immanent between the dominant Humankind Empire Abh and a coalition of rivals led by the United Mankind.
