As an unstoppable army threatens to invade, Kas and his band of unlikely allies must navigate a web of political intrigue and sabotage to expose a traitor and unite the fractured realm before it’s too late.

But when a shocking betrayal hits close to home, Kas is forced to choose between the brother he loves and the fate of the realm. Will Kas embrace his duty or let the Empire fall?
