Ambition and schemes have left the Kisian Empire in ashes. Empress Miko Ts´ai will have to move fast if she hopes to secure a foothold in its ruins. However, the line between enemies and allies may not be as clear-cut as it first appeared.
After failing to win back his Swords, former Captain Rah e´Torin finds shelter among the Levanti deserters. But his presence in the camp threatens to fracture the group, putting him on a collision course with their enigmatic leader.
Assassin Cassandra Marius knows Leo Villius´s secret--one that could thwart his ambitions to conquer Kisia. But her time in Empress Hana´s body is running out and each attempt they make to exploit Leo´s weakness may be playing into his plans.
And, as Leo´s control over the Levanti emperor grows, Dishiva e´Jaroven is caught in his web. She´ll have to decide how many of her people are worth sacrificing in order to win.
