Dark times are testing old ways across the empire.
The sigil of the House of the Lily clings to life, smouldering on a bent banner on the plains of Godsfeld. If the histories were ever to chronicle the collapse of the Sarpathian Empire, surely they would start here.
The emperor's firstborn and true heir, Serilla Dillianos, has lived under the strange and dark rule of her new occupiers for nearly three years, shut off from the broken remains of the city her ancestors protected for centuries. But when a revelation threatens to violate the sanctity of her being, the call to escape is too strong to ignore, thrusting the firstborn and her young sister into a dangerous and sudden flight across a realm desolated by conflict.
A thousand leagues away in a foreign land, a broken ward captain withers in a cell under the crushing shame of defeat. He fights to survive, and each day the bite of reality cuts deeper. Under the thick silence of night, the ward plans a reckoning to right the spectacular collapse of his homeland. A plan that drifts further away with each passing moon.
Forgotten by myth and memory, a long-banished power begins its ascension, weaving the fates of the firstborn and the ward together. A power that may redeem or end the world once and for all.
Dust of many, dust of few, dust of one...when the ancient winds stir, all must atone for what they have done.
