Despite the losses, the strange Taljzi fanatics have been defeated - but everything suggests that more will be coming.

Story
The A!Tol Imperium and their new human subjects have had 15 years of relative peace. New colonies have been founded, new worlds explored, new ships built. Formal and informal alliances have been built with the ancient powers of the Core, leaving humanity and the Imperium seemingly on the brink of a new dawn. The devastation of one of the newly-founded human colonies sends ripples of shock through the Imperium, and a battle fleet under Fleet Lord Harriet Tanaka is dispatched to the edge of the Imperium to find the culprits and bring them to justice.

Story
Humanity's first colony is a project neither the Duchy of Terra nor the A!Tol Imperium can allow to fail. The planet Hope in the Alpha Centauri system has been lavished with resources and attention - but when an unknown alien force attacks the system, all of that is in danger. An ancient alien artifact is the apparent target of the attack, an artifact older than known galactic civilization. Suddenly, the backwater colony of a second-rate power is the gathering point for a confrontation of the galaxy's greatest powers.

When Terra knelt to an alien Imperium, they guaranteed our safety and our future. But now their enemies are coming for us. To preserve humanity's survival and freedom in a hostile galaxy, Annette Bond tied her world to the A!Tol Imperium, taking on the mantle of Duchess of Terra to rule humanity in the Imperium's name. The A!Tol have provided technology, ships, and money to uplift the new Duchy of Terra, but those gifts come with strings attached. The Imperium has their own plan for Terra - but Bond has tricks of her own.

Seeking to escape the shadow of Annette Bond’s success, Captain Morgan Casimir has taken a posting on the far side of the A!Tol Imperium. Here she hopes to begin a legend for herself that stands apart from her stepmother, the Duchess. A chance encounter introduces her to the xenoarchaeologist Rin Dunst - and to the strange mystery cult that tried to silence him. There are darker secrets in these stars than the A!Tol and their human allies ever guessed...and if they can’t find answers, the Precursors' mistakes might yet destroy the galaxy. Again.

Earth is conquered. Sol is lost. One ship is tasked to free them. One Captain to save them all. When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

Publisher's Summary
A Duchy of Terra spin-off series
The enemy promises conflict and annihilation. Their allies threaten betrayal and devastation. A daughter of Earth raises the call of defiance. And the Imperium has never knelt!
When the Taljzi’s genocidal invasion brought promises of aid from the oldest and greatest of the Core Powers, humanity and the Imperium looked to the Mesharom for salvation. But that salvation turns to ash as the Mesharom demand the surrender of the very weapons that saved the Imperium.
Defiance leaves the Imperium facing the Taljzi without the aide of the galaxy’s wisest race, but with their old enemies the Kanzi at their side, they have no choice but to end this war at any cost.
But Mesharom and Taljzi alike have scattered fire and death across the stars. The Imperial forces under Fleet Lord Harriet Tanaka will need every scrap of firepower and cleverness not only to defeat their enemies...but to find them in the first place.

going a bit side-ways
the saga continues, and it is mostly a compelling story. there are some negatives though, which is why the story is only two-star. first, there's a lot of repetition. (yes, there's a really big fleet with lots of capital ships, escort ships, and sentients... i got that the first and second times, and didn't need it reinforced another N times.) second, the authors also wants us to know about the sexual preferences of the protagonists and the supporting human characters, and that diversity in organizations is good. in truth, this doesn't add to either the development of the characters, nor advance the story line. perhaps the thinking is that this provides a good contrast to the antagonists, who are mostly uni-dimensional clones (or an egotistical alien admiral). if we had any character development of the bad guys (we don't even get to hear from one until the very end), then that would be an interesting angle.

Solid continuation of the series.
Apparently Glynn Stewart moved from the Dutchy of Terra to the Light of Terra (the daughter) without really making it clear. I loved the Dutchy of Terra. Honestly, these Light of Terra books are not really all that different. Hillary Huber does a great job. I will probably continue the series for however long it goes.
