An unexplainable assassination pits the Imperium and its tenuous neighbour, the Drasken Empire, against each other in a conflict that threatens to shatter the continent.
A jaded warrior.
Endarion, a tortured veteran general, finds himself dragged out of self-imposed exile and given command of the Imperium's armies to wage a war he doesn't believe in. If he doesn't conquer Drasken, his vindictive ruler will destroy his entire family.
A hated turncoat.
Estrid, once Endarion's lover but now his greatest enemy, is tasked with defending Drasken against him and, if necessary, destroying him in the field.
A noblewoman in disguise.
Back in the Imperium's capital, Endarion's niece Sephara hunts down the true assassin in the hopes of halting the war before it devours both nations. But she soon finds herself amidst a sinister plot thousands of years in the making, and her family might be the next victims.
A young mage in hiding.
Across the continent, bastard-born Tali, Endarion's youngest daughter, awakens to a magic long thought eradicated. But her powers make her a target to powerful immortal factions; perhaps the same immortals her family now unwittingly fights against.
As empires war and the immortal creators of humanity emerge from supposed extinction, one family is dragged into the centre of a planet-spanning conflict.
