Conflicting dedications to duty and revenge have gutted the Idasian
Empire, leaving its royal family in tatters and a host of
opportunists snapping at the scraps. In desperation, they turn
their hopes to a foreign face, praying for reprieve against the
dark plots determined to see them dead. Meanwhile in the east,
hiding among the starving remnants of the imperial army, Rurik
Matair has survived attempts on his own life, and war besides, only
to become isolated from those he cares most about. But even as the
madness of a nation infects the heart of the army, a new commander
offers the hope of stability-and the possibility that new changes
will right old wrongs. Yet one cannot hide from truth. As Rurik and
his friends face the reality of those around them, young and old
alike are forced to realize a terrible fact: even faith can
crumble, and what stalks its ashes might be something far worse.
It is a time of upheaval in the Idasian Empire. As religious fervor
stirs dissent among the people, and the winter winds loom,
thousands gather behind their aging emperor on a march to war. In
the midst of this, young Rurik Matair blunders home with childish
notions of revenge, and an unlikely band of sellswords at his back.
The third son of a backwater nobleman, Rurik was destined for a
life in service to the crown. But when he reached beyond his
station, he was banished from his father's house with nothing to
his name. Tired and hunted, he returns after two years abroad. Yet
all is not as it appears. As Idasia's brutal war threatens to
stagnate, old rivalries rekindle. Other players shift through dark
games behind the scenes, and old magicks rise against a tottering
throne, stirred on by a woman with nothing left...
