Renegade of Kregen is a science fiction novel by British writer Kenneth Bulmer, written under the pseudonym of Alan Burt Akers; it is the thirteenth volume in his Dray Prescot series of sword and planet novels, set on the fictional world of Kregen, a planet of the Antares star system in the constellation of Scorpio.
During the ceremony Prescot is visited by Zena Iztar again who questions his motives and once more tells him that, to be allowed to leave the Eye of the World he must become a Krozair of Zy again.
By saving the girl, revered to as the Lady of the Stars by Gafard, he sees her face, normally hidden, and for the first time in his life feels he has met a woman equal to Delia in beauty.
Gafard keeps her a secret to protect her from King Genod's in saturable desire for women and Prescot is instructed never to mention the girls beauty.
In Magdag they learn that Shazmoz has been relieved and that the Zairians are on the advance while the tidal wave created by Prescot has swept away the Grodnim supplies.
He succeeds in taking the larger air boat but then unexpectedly encounters his old Hamalian friends Rees and Chido and realises that the two would recognise him, forcing him to hide.
With the opportunity gone the army marches into battle the next day and Prescot decides to make a stand then and there but is prevented when news comes that the Lady of the Stars has been abducted.
